- duskwuff 4y agoMaybe for email. TF2's spam filtering got worse -- the game is now overrun with malicious bots, and is unplayable on public servers.
- astrange 4y agoThat’s actually why email is centralized now. Gmail’s good spam filtering works because it can see what’s going to every account. Some email providers (Hey in the US) don’t accept emails from other senders without prior authorization from the user. IIRC Chinese providers won’t accept any of yours unless you have a contract with them.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> This was an argument why email will never work too No, it wasn't. Email was popular and established before spam became a big concern. Though spam, and the necessary control mechanisms, is one reason email had become less central.
- TimJRobinson 4y agoYea and then when spam came out there were hundreds of articles that Email is becoming useless because of it. We encounter new problems, then we build solutions, that's how progress works.
- danaris 4y agoBut NFTs and their ilk still don't actually solve any of the problems we have today. So please stop moving the goalposts.
