Wamted: Snow plow service for Millennials and those with social or phone anxiety. Arrange online. Pay with PayPal, square, stripe, venmo, cash app. You could charge more for the service and make a killing.
America is a country that will sentence a 13 year old child to prison as an adult but will protect and support a teenage racist from criticism because “he’s a kid”.
@cstanhope@dajbelshaw yeah, at least in the U.S., waiting for the government to fix this is a cop-out.
That said I don’t think it’s an either/or choice. We can wait for the government to fix it, and while we’re waiting, we can experiment with ways to solve these problems ourselves.
We also can’t expect companies to produce products to solve these problems (which is what got us into this problem in the first place).
@jjg I'm a big fan of Mailman, though it's more of an email discussion list handler than a newsletter engine. For newsletters, there's always /etc/aliases.
@jjg How is the deliverability from your own mail server, and how big is the list you're going to be sending to? Unless it's in the multi-hundreds, or, probably, thousands, I don't think you're going to hit any tripwires that will make your deliverability worse than it is. I'd probably set up something like GNU Mailman just so that people have proper unsubscribe functionality (and maybe archives), but not do anything special on the mail end.
