  > But email didn't fail as a result. Just as you said, email services popped up. With centralization; hence the spyware, bans and spam prevention which only benefits the big centralized email services like Gmail, Outlook, etc. Email was meant to be used as a decentralized protocol such that one can operate their own email service; but despite many here claiming to run their own, they gave up and many still won't. Even sending an email to a Gmail and Outlook addresses will just fail their spam filter test. So it has been a failure for email without centralizated providers. > Just give it a little time. A 6 year federated experiment is not early days to see that a worse version of Twitter has already failed.
