@observer@socialhub.activitypub.rocks That's good thinking - thanks for sharing this and explaining TCO so clearly. We certainly have ideas on how to reduce the technical, moderation, and legal cost. FASPs are probably part of this. Our future Belgian foundation could help on legal and compliance topics.
I believe the grandma-one-click-Gmail analogy is not perfect, though, because the exemplary grandma doesn't start their own email server on Gmail.

Oh that would be great, with hundreds soon to be thousands of softwares with 50,000 servers needing legal help that would be great! I have noticed that people do not understand the complexities of hosting servers in other places and need that legal help also, I live in the US but host in Germany, so my local, federal laws apply to me, as does the laws of Germany, the EU, and GDPR for example, that’s a lot of laws and guidelines to follow! Yes my example was as easy as that process not it being the actual process.
