Have you tried setting up and running an email server the past decade? Email is horribly centralized. Nostr is the way. It will take time but it's sufficiently decentralized. Doesn't require DNS. Users hold their own keys. Fairly

Nice article, but too much focus on federation as a potential solution. The problem with federated networks ("Fediverse"?) like Mastodon and Matrix is that you still rely on a (sub)domain and someone running a server. That someone
