    In theory, the castle walls should protect everyone equally, but it assumes the king will invest in operations and maintenance, perpetually. What we see, instead, is what happens to poorly democratized and incentivized systems.

    I feel like once google had enough of a stranglehold on email for gmail to start blocking independent email servers (for valid security purposes probably) it was basically game over. It became incredibly difficult for an individual to run their own communications platform, even when following best practices. Luckily there are solid paid services, but as you point out, those are still "the cloud."
