I thought it is too interesting to be just a comment
Until a multi-billion company aquires the corporate
Any company who does not want to lose a market of ~18% of global population will make sure it complies (example: Apple).
We need to think about real life here and not just technical implementation
I would suggest using Outline (based on Shadowsocks but with easy interface)
Or set up OpenConnect Server on Cisco Anyconnect mode, it is based on HTTPS and it looks exactly as https on the wire
i.e trying to diversify to discourage racism so you end up prefering minorities who are less fit for a job than just to be "diversified"
If we put the idea of Cobra effect aside, these companies are also trying to bargain because vulnerables and minorities would prefer to work for them than for other companies that don't express their preference of minorities, so eventually many of them will accept less pay to feel more welcomed, which is - in my opinion - pure emotional exploitation, they claim they have ethical reasons but actual many of them has only unethical reasons
The only policy that is actually right is not to discriminate against colors, ethnicities, political views, etc..
but putting pressure to try to hire african/asian/latinos/women/whatever is like putting pressure on people to buy products from someone just to proof they don't discriminate against, which is extremely absurd and against the purpose.
I stopped self-hosting because it's too much hassle, but it was any difficult to maintain, (by difficult I mean complex)
It didn't worth the time I spent though, so I quit, but I would do it again if I need to
If I had to maintain a server at home and my ISP blocks it, I would get a VPS and host proxies on the VPS and use VPN tunnel to keep the mails stored locally
But I don't have any reason to do that currently, as well as most people
Some expression can be considered pitching extreme ideologies or hate speech which is illegal in most "liberal" places
Some people would argue that attacking an idea is different from attacking a person, but again this is something that is not agreed upon, some people would prefer to be insulted than for their culture/religion/idol to be insulted, so it is a different limits at the end
In my culture, each spouse has their own custody and assets, it's never the "household"'s assets
Western legal frameworks sounds harmful on the long run
