This! Google has a history and present strategy of making reactive moves to please shareholders. I’m shocked the masses trust them with email. When can we go back to decentralized self-hosted?

I saw the writing on the wall 5 years ago and switched to ProtonMail with a custom domain bc that lock-in is a real pain.

i haven't self-hosted email in the last decade, but last time i did...self hosting email sucked. every aspect of it was a pain in the ass.

I got the account in like 2005. It's not that I trust them, its just that it's hard to move off.
