Sure there are a few others. What I’m mainly getting at is that you can’t run an email server in your house the same way you can run a lemmy instance and expect those emails to get delivered. You are forced to use someone else’s email service as a backend or google will flag your emails as spam.

This really underscores that "The Company Town" is very much alive. Also move over East India Trading Co.

We've let the Internet too few big players. It used to be more diverse, more federated. Now it's just the New TV for Advertisers to shit down your neck.

I'm not even sure if we can go back without inventing new technologies not captured by bureaucratic establishments.
