Comment on Decentralization Scoring System (v1.3)
AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 week agoThe scoring 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.
As far as I know most Lemmy instances leverages paid-for or freemium services to have their instances work easily/properly

Then please update your category name to reflect that. Right now it says “Self-Hosting” which to the majority of readers means hosting it yourself.
Yes but you can’t compare a whole lemmy instance to an account on an email server that you share with others. The fair comparison would be hosting a lemmy instance to hosting your own email server and creating an account on Proton Mail to creating an account (or a community) on lemmy.world.

You’re right, thanks for the input. I’ll make adjustments to take care of these flaws in the scoring system.
