Even if Illinois was feasible, I don't think I'd want that. I'd rather fix the system. And quit dancing around the issue of Puerto Rico statehood.

I went through and manually deleted all of my comments when I left; they're all back again as well.
I think it depends what's on your phone. I don't use mine for email or banking; it's 2FA, phone calls, and a map. I'm using a Galaxy S8 that I purchased in the summer of 2017, and I don't get any updates any more.
If I had bank account information or access to other sensitive data I'd be a lot more concerned.
My biggest problem is apps that stop working. My carrier doesn't support my phone with their voicemail app, for example.
I'm banned from lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy for being 'capitalist scum' because I commented in lemmy.world/c/technology that I didn't want the Internet Archive archiving my content.
Not quite the same as a Reddit permaban, but authoritarians and orthodoxy enforcers are everywhere.
I've been running mail servers for about thirty years; my personal ones and production for 100K+ users.
The personal one is a pain for the reasons you mentioned. I use sendmail instead of postfix, but I was able to use some rules to push certain messages through other relays.
I signed up for Amazon SES and have so far stayed in their free tier. Mail coming from one of my addresses always goes through SES, and mail from any address to certain domains (aol.com, gmail.com, etc.) go through SES as well.
It allows me to ensure delivery for my important mails, but leave things up to chance for less important ones.
It's the best solution I've been able to come up with for a really annoying situation. Big Tech ruined it all.
Children playing in the distance. It brings me back to happy, simpler times.
It's not the same post. It says above that this is a link to an article because the first one replaced the link with a photo.
Apparently I screwed up my post. When I posted the article here I tried adding a photo from the article, but it just replaced the entire URL despite the URL having a different field than the image. I can't seem to edit the post to put a link back to the article without losing the image (which is currently cross-linked to another group by someone else).
One is that I can keep family email (everyone on the server) in the same ecosystem, so private information send between family members isn't as likely to leak.
Another is also privacy -- my mail isn't being used to build a profile about me.
I also like the control and the ability to look at logs. If I don't get an email, I can look at the server and figure out why it didn't show up. It just provides more information for me.
You can always end it later, so stick around a little longer and see how things play out.
