The linked post shows how most non-tech people's understanding of email is very very different from most of the people here.

Oh yes, totally agreed there, I just presumed that such would most naturally arise from inside the USA itself. Then again, isn't feddit.uk based in Germany? All it would take would be for someone to start it up, and begin attracting new users to it - though neither of those are small tasks, even if it could share hardware with another instance, such as feddit.uk? So if Discuss.Online were to step up instead, that does seem wonderful news!:-D
