Here I’m a bit in two minds, sure it’s difficult to SELF host email, but in practice it isn’t because there are hundreds (Thousands?) of hosting options to choose from where you can choose your own domain etc. for the low price of basically-free
The scoreing system is basically there to put a number on “How free are users and hosts of a platform to move around?”
Or “How much power is in the hands of the people and not a few companies?”
For me Email scores very high in this regard.

That’s exactly what I’m talking about though. Google, microsoft, and kinda yahoo basically control the entire market. A few providers like fastmail fight over fractions of percent. Email today feel much worse than lemmy

The sources I’ve found doesn’t show they have that big a market share
