After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩

Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

@visibletrap Oh!! I was reading a question with half the text blacked out in the spoiler alert style. Thought it was just some annoying new UI. Completely forgot what day it was. So used to things on the web getting worse over time! #jaded
