   Maybe one day, I hear enough horror stories about self-hosting email I'm happy to pay to offload that service.

     I moved email contacts and calendering into protonmail, which doesn't play nice with nextcloud, so it's totally segmented out from the homelab infrastructure.

     @nicholas @FourOh-LLC yea I mean you will need to set up sendmail or a similar server and truly go with your own SMTP solution.

     @FourOh-LLC @nicholas tech transitions always require a segmented plan and roadmap. It is a pain in the ass, but if you are tired of feeling like a soobscription milk cattle you should begin with a email mirror. Have emails that go to your on domain then duplicate to your own private server and then gmail. Or set up gmail to forward those emails.
     
     Next you will need to implement a cross compatible scheduler so when people send appointments via gmail you can use both google calendar AND nextcloud.
     
     Eventually, once you've ironed out all of the quirks, completely disable the mirroring and go full Nextcloud.

     How is hubzilla? I've been trying to find good information on it, it seems like it might be able to replace nextcloud in my homelab, but I can't find anything more recent than several years old about features and usability.

     I could never figure out a good use for Nextcloud, not even with the Office install. Maybe if it was federated I would reinstall it and spend some time with it, and get rid of my google office subscription.
     
     But even I cannot pull that trigger, not yet. I use Gmail from day one practically, I got my account in 1995. Same with Google Office, I switched to a pro subscription as soon as it was available.
     
     I use Office365 for years because of my job requires it, but they do not compare Google is superior.
     
     I am looking at Nextcloud nearly every week, wishing I could switch.

     I maintain two nodes - one Mastodon and a Hubzilla - and I do not have "users". Instead I am ready to show anyone to host their own.
     
     The Fediverse supposed to be this expert pool of owner-operators who do not write Community Rules and install GDPR because there is no need for them.
     
     For everything else there is the rest of the internet with practically dozens of all sorts of forums, networks.
     
     The Fedi shall be owner-operated. The only reason I am posting this from someone else's node is because mines are dedicated to taxation in Kane county, and I do not pollute that, I do not tolerate anyone to pollute them.

     >Meta would simply switch off federation
     
     Then why are you hassling all us admins to defederate? Shouldn't you be encouraging us to federate and show threads users how awesome the open fediverse is, and then just let meta defederate on their own?
     
     You really can't be out here with the name "fedi.tips" all like "welp, turns out federation sucks now guys, better stop doing that."
     
     I don't care about your little crusade against threads, but I would ROFL hard if they gabbed themselves after all that.
