My mom claims there is no problems into being tracked and stuff and that “Every normal person will use gmail”;

My brother says you only should hide your data if you are a criminal or something.

      To be fair, self-hosting is more difficult and less secure.

      The thing is though, many like to put in an effort and no one cares to hack your server, unlike something like Google.

        It is more difficult, but it is not inherently less secure if you put in the time and effort to learn what’s what and how to properly secure it.

        Lol.

        It’s about 1000x easier to configure your server on your own than trying to work through some VPS frontend.

          Configure your server as in “install software on any random PC and forward ports”? Sure.

          As in “make it all secure and reliable”…much more complicated.
