Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

Honestly, building a mail server isn't that hard if you aren't afraid of the command line.
Lol wut. All veteran sysadmins know email servers are like the hardest servers to maintain n
Email delivery and spam are fucking hard.
Most orgs just outsource it for this reason.
Agreed, it’s the hardest kind of server to maintain.
For a large organization? Sure. For your family and friends? No.
There are lots of tutorials, and choosing a security-first OS is also wise... OpenBSD is my current favourite.
Clearly an ignorant comment lol
True, but what you should really be afraid of these days are spam filters and hackers. As much as I'd love to selfhost my own mail server, IMHO it's just not worth the risk of important emails getting flagged as spam (both outgoing and incoming), or losing control of accounts due to a zero day attack or other means. The latter might sound far-fetched but I just saw it happen firsthand to a friend. The modern internet is a battleground!
Email is far too important to be set up in a fragile home server.
Unless you have concurrent redundancy with HA servers and multiple Internet connections, it's just not worth missing important emails imo.
I pay $6USD/month for a cloud box that's encrypted and has been running for years, no outages, no downtime.
I was on a trip for a few weeks to visit family, and just a few days after I got there my server went down and I lost access to all my stuff (I'm about to fix it when I return tomorrow). Stuff like that is why I will never self-host something as critical as email
