How did email solve this?
- rvz 4y agoCentralization of the biggest email providers. This is why we don't see normal users (non techies) themselves self-hosting their own email servers to send a email, even though the option is there. Even if they did, the biggest email providers deal with the spam problem better than self-hosted individuals, hence why it isn't a problem for users signing up to Gmail. Mastodon will naturally gear towards centralization once the larger instances open up their instances and add defaults, ruining the whole point of federation with the biggest instances being at risk of buyouts and takeovers offers.
