The reason for this is of course that it's a complete pain to work with the large email providers (say, you want to send an email to gmail) if you have your own service. Email has been far from truly decentralised for a while now.
- Tepix 8y agoIt's not that bad really. Been doing it since more than a decade.
- krageon 8y agoIf you enjoy the administrative work that comes with it (removing yourself from "you exist and you are therefore banned" blocklists, trying to convince gmail/hotmail/etc that you're really a real person, etc) then yes, it's not hard. If you use email, want it to work and don't enjoy extra administrative duties on top of your day job, I'd say it is that bad.
