SelfPrivacy is in “Open beta” and promises to make setup and use of email, messager, password management, video chat and other services simple by leveraging the likes of Hetzner, Cloudflare, and Backblaze.
I stumbled on the app while browsing the F-droid app “store” and had never heard of them. I think the proposition is neat and while I’m comfortable hosting most of these services myself, my curiosity has been piqued. Searching for it elsewhere on the web as far as privacy rating, reviews, etc has left me empty handed. I dont’ know if they’re just too new or not. So I’m curious if anyone has tried them out or looked into it further.

Yes you are right their antispam measure is very aggressive but I think plenty of bad actors have abused the service before that’s why its like that.
