    Honestly? I needed a Gmail account anyways, so I might as well use that. Same hammer-analogy, not going to buy a new one while mine is working.

      I wasn’t talking about that, I was talking about your objection of “the requirement to select anything in the first place” with regards to a Mastodon server.

      With that in mind, if email were to be released today, it’d be deemed “too hard for people to understand” because you have to choose what email provider you’re going to use. Are you going with AOL, or are you going to roll up your own? With some you even have to hand over money before you get access. Just too difficult!
