Re: "We really should host our own email servers on VPSes"
For me there's not much time required to spend on my mail server. Just update regularly and if some spam really comes through, I'll put it in the Junk folder with one keypress and rspamd will take care of it.

I ran a mail server for a bit, but as others have said, it becomes a real chore. Nowadays I just use migadu and I don't have to worry about my emails being rejected by Google and others.
We really should host our own email servers on VPSes — I got an email reply from someone who discovered my email 10 days after sending in his spam folder. I'm not sure why - maybe he hosts his domain at Outlook.com or Gmail and it's difficult to build up reputation for these A-holes. Or it may be because my VPS provider is on the UCEPROTECT-L3 blocklist (again). But I really like plaintext email despite all of it's problems. So I think the smolnet/IndieWeb community members should run their own...
