Incredible to think about that we got it right the first time (with email) and still had to spend the last 20 years complaining about centralized social networks.

The raw SMTP landscape on the internet is such a shitshow. Setting up a SMTP server requires so many goddamn condoms that you might as well just give up and start using some other professional email service. Or you set it up just to forward email to a GMail account, and even then, Gmail bitches about how much spam you’re forwarding it and blocks you for a time.
@p03locke @shalafi i have a primary email that uses a TLD released in 2014. I use it for any mails that aren’t e.g. government or financial. The number of systems/servers/transports that haven’t been updated to accept it is quite an annoyance.
I avoid email anyway.
