#emailsovereignty — Public Fediverse posts

📬 Big milestone for me today: I’m officially no longer using iCloud Mail or Calendar — in fact, I’ve stopped relying on any big tech email provider altogether. 💥

Email is notoriously one of the hardest services to self-host — a constant game of whack-a-mole with spam filters, DNS records, and SMTP quirks. So reaching this point feels… honestly liberating.

(Okay, I’ll still use Hide My Mail from iCloud because it’s fantastic for privacy — credit where it’s due.)

Also: I’ve started working on the first tutorials in my self-hosting series! 🎥
We’ll begin with the essentials — DNS, reverse proxy, and how to safely expose your services online. Everything builds from there.

Ah yes, the noble quest for email sovereignty! 🤔 Apparently, owning a private email server is akin to building a privacy fortress, except that Google still has the keys to the kingdom because everyone else uses #Gmail. 🏰🔑 But hey, at least you can revel in the illusion of #autonomy while drowning in your own digital echo chamber. 📧🙃
