Competing platforms are scary!!!

I’m also on gmail. Haven’t had any issues with it, no real desire to change.

For sure. It would be interesting if a method to migrate instances was built into the backend of lemmy, but this could potentially cause a lot of headache for instance owners as well. Probably not in the cards, but would solve this problem for sure.

Beehaw definitely had its own standard they try to uphold. Just means choosing your instance is important to your experience.

Now that kbin.social is federated, you can also participate in lemmy communities, which may have a few more options for a few niche hobbies.

Nope. It can’t really be self hosted anymore, as having a residential IP is a straight track to the spam folder. It can be done if you also pay for a mail relay service, but then what’s the point of self hosting when you need to rely on a cloud service anyways.

Not surprised. They need to milk every last drop of revenue from their users free content for the upcoming IPO.
