Even if Trump manages to win the presidency, it's clear that almost all of our systems have been compromised. Big Tech is the Democratic party and with AOC blatantly coming out asking for people to make a Trump supporter hit list. It won't be long until we start getting picked off one by one.
I'm not saying we're gonna be hunted down in the streets, at least not outside major leftist cities. But if you leave yourself out there it creates an opportunity for leftists to ruin your lives with relative ease. All it takes is for you to have a supervisor that's leftist for you to get fired, for a bank manager to be a leftist for your account to be closed just like they did with a lot of Proud Boys members, etc.
The left isn't hiding the fact that they're out for blood. The fact that Biden is going out of his way to say he wants to heal the divisions in the country is because even he knows what's coming. He's just trying to seem like he's trying to extend an olive branch so things don't spiral into civil war once people on the right realize they're getting purged.
Don't let yourself be a victim. Cover your tracks, use alt tech.
If you got good Linux and basic database knowledge this is a great guide for a powerful mailserver: https://workaround.org/ispmail
I've been using various versions of this guide for maybe 10 years or so. Runs perfectly fine on a virtual private server for under 5€ per month (in the EU anyway, I remember prices in the US being weirdly high).
Thanks for the info! I actually am (used to be) familiar with Dovecot and Postfix. I knew there were new things like DKIM that I know zero about. I may give it a shot with cloud stuff being so cheap right now.
Hasn't really changed much over time as far as the server itself (linux, dovecot, postfix) is concerned IMHO.
One of the more important things for new features is a good domain registrar. Some only let you set basic stuff like the server IP (i.e. the A record) and that's it. For a mail server you want more advanced settings (e.g. MX, TXT records and maybe others).
