Have you tried to run your own email server these days?
I only have the enough knowledge to write “Hello World!” in Python, and maybe in C too. But that’s it. But even being dominated, there are other small companies that offer email services, like tutanota or proton.
But that logic is not right in my head. Because, according to that logic, if Friday was a rainy day, Saturday was a rainy day and Sunday was a rainy day, does that mean that all days of the year will be rainy days? Logical induction doesn’t always work.
I agree that Meta and Zuckerberg are evil entities, we see that everyday. But this is our playground, this is our territory, and they’re outsiders who know nothing about how the things work here.
Do they want to come here? Sure, this is an open place for all who wants to join. Do they want to interact? I’m glad to interact. Do they want to start EEE maneuvers or enshittification? Then let’s show them who is boss.
I work with email, and i interact with sysadmins, so yes, i bring first party knowledge here. Self-hosting your email is not recommended today because it already HAS suffered EEE, and unless you’re big enough to not ignore (an ISP, a company with thousands of users, etc.) it’ll be a miserable time, trying to set up your server for you and your family will be an exercise in frustration, and even those companies suffer a lot from the big servers. And nothing short of a full antitrust campaign by a nation (which should have happened years ago) will undo this.
Dude, we know! We’ve seen it! This is not some hypothetical moral panic by a bunch of Karens! Believe us! They WILL fuck up the Fediverse! Welcome them and they WILL start EEE and you won’t be able to stop them! You avoid the vampire by not inviting them in, not by doing so and then trying to fight them.
