Will there be any issues with a .place domain for email? (lemmy.ml)

I'm considering getting a domain with a .place TLD. Will it cause any issues like emails being blocked or something? I searched and it doesn't seem particularly notorious for spam or anything, but I wanted to find out if there are people who can tell me from experience.

Edit: This is not for running my own server - I have a provider, Disroot.

as a direct product of enshittification, google and friends routinely undermine the open internet and make life difficult for people who selfhost, businesses and private parties alike.

so your emails not arriving in gmail's inbox is because google wants you to use gmail and/or their business account, not plain email. there is no mechanism where you can mark a non-gmail correspondent as safe and someone you always want to receive comms from. except, if you offload your sending either to g&f or one of the 3rd-party senders like mailchimp, sendinblue, etc. who have a direct pipe into google's infra and are not subject to any of those harassment tactics.

so, not having a .com domain is possibly less ideal, but that pales in comparison to the above; if you're communicating with non-gmail/outllok/etc contacts, it don't matter. if you do - again, it doesn't matter.
