    Fair enough - I got it working recently but it was the hardest self-hosting install I’ve done. No way most people would succeed. Email is 50(?) years of questionable design decisions piled on top of each other so it’s become a whole world of weird stuff. Doing email should be it’s own tech specialty, like ‘devops’ or ‘db admin’ is. There’s enough depth to it.

    There are a ton of email providers who are not Google, though. e.g. https://proton.me/mail. You don’t need to run it on your own hardware.

    “Impressions” is the amount of time a piece of content was viewed. This is a key metric in advertising-based situations because you want to know the ratio of clicks on the thing vs how many impressions it has to judge how effective a bait it is.





  • Ah that is interesting, I missed that the first time.

    So the author instance would be responsible for federating activities, not the instance hosting the community? That could be very beneficial for spreading load across the network! But maybe it would complicate moderation because the author could ignore moderator’s commands to delete the post and stop federating it.
