I used to. I had a docker-mailserver. It was good. But I moved house and changed ISP. I couldn't set up the reverse DNS on my address, and Gmail was blocking me, so I had to switch to a hosted mail server (namecheap private email).
It's a shame, syncing is noticably slower, and I only get one mailbox, but oh well. Just keep on using GPG.
The most tech savvy I have ever gotten with a friend is using Signal. I guess if I truly care about privacy is should use GPG on whatever can use it, but I don't do a lot through the internet that does not obligate my identity, like banking or university stuff. I tried to be random with using aliases when ordering stuff online, but more often then not it was a hassle with family members getting confused. Plus, there has been times when I need to sign or pick up from the delivery center due to some error, and I am glad I used my name since they look at ID.
Social media is like the only reason to stay anonymous.
