Ask HN: Why can’t I host my own email
by warent on Hacker News.
I can host my own Mastodon server, or all kinds of other novelty / fun things which don’t seem easily decentralized. Email feels like one of the most decentralized internet concepts, and ironically it’s seemingly the one thing I can’t self-host unless, from what I’ve heard, I enjoy being permanently marked as spam / blacklisted. What’s going on? How do we fix this?
