Sure. If you do everything yourself, like implement antispam, backup, maintenance, high availability, etc - then it is mostly the same.
HA for personal MTA is way overkill, just run a second instance with higher MX record value. Antispam is a given, backups are snapshots, maintenance is just system updates. Of course, you could just run an appliance which does it all for you. I'd say it's way easier than in 1990s.
my original comment was about using e-mail service provided by others. Hosting own e-mail server as well as a lemmy instance is ... not for "normal" people (as well as serving their cars or build a house etc)
Happily, I'm abnormal that way. I also dabble in PV DIY. Building houses from scratch, no. Servicing a modern car is also not worth it. Sadly, no open source EVs yet available.
