How did you decide which email provider you were going to go with? Did you set up your own server? Or perhaps gain access to an address through a community? Or did you go with a normies server like Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail?
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!
Deemed by who? People who don't want to adopt new things? It's not too hard they just don't want to do it and will make any excuse not to.
Yes and no. It was already rejection at the selection stage back then, but you luckily never had to. You got one from your ISP, or your university, and you just used that. Sure, some techies had their own mail server or so but it's just mail, just use what you got was enough for the vast vast majority of people.
You've got mail!
