- jraph 6y agoI generally agree with the GNU stance on most things, but here this is just irrelevant and out of topic. I run my own mail server, and you can screw up badly with free software. And you probably will more than Google or the big players, especially if it is not your job. Free software does not make your admin-sys screw-ups or hardware failures something you can "get the whole community involved in working together to fix problems". (Fortunately, I haven't screwed so badly that my server started responding "no such user". Just some regular downtime that, as far as I know, has not make me miss any mail) Using someone else's computer and services can be problematic for a lot of reasons, but uptime / reliability is generally not the issue.
