It’s like how there aren’t articles comparing email options. We all just kinda picked an email site and stuck with it until something goes wrong and then pick the next one. No one’s really investing time in debating ones over the others or trying to convert others to Team Hotmail or somethin.
Unless you’re crazy like me and host your own email server :)
I like the direction Lemmy and Kbin has provided in terms of providing a messaging environment on the internet where it is more decentralized much like the internet of old.
Email on the other hand has taken a serious step in the other direction with email monopolies from the big names such as Google and Microsoft etc that have made self-operated email servers quite a bit more difficult to operate then it really should be, at-least from the perspective of actually sending email to other people using their servers and getting it in their inbox.
I find it ironic that Google/Microsoft etc use the excuse of spam/malware as the excuse to block self-hosted email servers with little to no email history/reputation yet most of the worlds spam comes from their servers.

Yeah but we secretly laugh at anyone with a yahoo email address, admit it
I always smile when I see Hotmail addresses come up 😄
Mine was from highschool because they told us to use that. Now it’s for junk
I use mine for every online sign-up and purchase. That’s what it’s for!
Plus you’re just jealous because those of us who got emails a quarter of a century ago got our own names instead of [email protected] 😂
Secretly? I’m pretty blatant about laughing at yahoo accounts.
