I'm looking at newsletter SaaS now. Any recommendations for EU-hosted / privacy / ideally-not-nazi-platforming focussed mass newsletter email.

Don't need tracking or "engagement" or really anything like that, just a central place to send out updates and news.

Audience in the low thousands rather than millions.

No cost/fee for audience.

@acf Whatever PikaPods has to offer: https://www.pikapods.com/apps

(They do Ghost, Listmonk and Notifuse, all of which are excellent options)

PikaPods - Instant Open Source App Hosting

Run the finest Open Source web apps from $1.20/month, fully managed, no tracking, no ads, full privacy. Self-hosting was never this convenient.

@bomberstudios Shall have a look. I worry a little as mail is one of those things you can get wrong and get blacklisted, so a specialised server handling the mail seems safer

@acf As far as I know, for most (all?) of these open source tools, you have to bring your own email sending backend (usually Amazon SES). There are some alternatives listed here https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/ses-amazon-simple-email-service

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is the transactional email service of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
