@daks It looks like you are reading outdated howtos. Quadlets should nowadays automatically generate the systemd services and obey what you put in for start behaviour.

I think the biggest barrier is that it is just a social network. It is missing commercialisation. You can just be here. So it doesn't work for the majority of influencers, that make money on advertising. It works for the ones that have an interest in a topic and earn their money otherwise. But Mastodon will never develop the drive as other platforms and I think that is good...

Google normally needs site/domain verification in the postmaster tools. I did it via a DNS record years back and had no issues with being sorted into spam since then.

Doing everything by myself.
Important to get a "clean" ip, or to clean it before using it (e.g., removing from blacklists). Then proper spam configuration rDNS, SPF, DMARC etc is important. Lastly specifics for big tech companies are needed, e.g., google postmaster configs.

Control over DNS entries also needed, for all sorts of certificates, verifications, etc.
It sounds hard in the beginning, but actually all is straight forward and there is a lot of test sites to check if you are doing it right.
I always feel it is very worth doing, as email is quite core for my communication and gives you sort of lifetime email address, as it is your domain. No scanning, advertisement, etc.
