Sign up for a VPN. That should get you around the IP ban. Big providers like windscribe have lots of nodes you can use to change your ip address.

You're right about the difficulty in running the mail software on a server you administer, but hosting companies can take care of that for you. It's not hard to run your own mall service, if you go with service as a service instead of rolling your own infrastructure.

I've got no less than 5 different domains with my own email service, and I don't have to deal with the complexities you reference. My hosting provider handles that for me.

Actually, Beehaw has blocked a bunch more than 3 instances. https://beehaw.org/instances

Yup, I left a one star review as soon as I learned about this crap. I started how I'd always used third party apps and all quitting reddit because of their bullshit. As a final touch, I left a few links to some sites for the fediverse and said that is migrated there instead

You could always just use a github repo as a wiki. It would render markdown pages in your browser, and it comes with built in version control!

I stumbled into this the other day. It's awesome!

There's no more barrier to spinning up one's own email server than there has ever been. One simply needs, at a minimum, a server in the internet, a DNS domain, and know how.

A server on the internet has never been easier, thanks to cloud providers. In fact, many cloud providers will give you a working email server, so that you don't need to do all the sysadmin things to get software like Bind or Postfix up and running. These hosting providers make it pretty simple run your own personal email server and domain.

The big providers are successful because most folks don't want to stand up their own email server, they just want to use email. But anyone can go it, if they have the time and interest.

I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

This is the way.

Folks in the EU should file a GDPR complaint against reddit for every deleted post restored.

I bet someone could script that and share the code...
