Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads
PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 6 months agoI actually think this demonstrates the exact problem. The reason you can’t do that at the email levels because Google has taken over the entire email space. Ideally, we don’t let threads do that.
Nowadays you have services like Outlook blocking emails Tutanota for “spam protection”. I’d really rather threads not get so big that they can start dictating how the Feduverse operates in that fashion.

Would email be better if you couldn’t send/receive emails from people with Gmail accounts?
PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It would objectively be more secure in terms of data privacy.
Better, in that regard, is subjective. It sure wouldn’t be more convenient, but that’s why we left Reddit and came to Lemme in the first place. It sure wasn’t because of convenience.

Yeah I’m not going to criticize anyone for not liking Google. Google’s done plenty to sour people on them. But this is just the height of ignorant flailing.

This is the real world and people won’t “just ditch gmail”.

Right, but we have a vivace here to keep things fragmented as opposed to coalesced around Facebook
