Yet gmail is the biggest and email isn't a social network, choice is the problem.
People cannot find their friends on Mastodon because:
+ They can't search all instances across Mastodon.
+ There is almost little to no one on Mastodon to talk to.
So they just go back to a centralised service like Twitter and they definitely not use email as a social network.
