In elaborate terms: you have the ability to change any one of the protocols, specifications, designs or standards of the above at their proposal stage or before their mass adoption. You may choose to modify or reject an existing one or create one by yourself.
Some users and I would have common ideas in mind, however I would love to see some esoteric ideas as well.
Making email free was a mistake. Makes sense to encourage early adoption but long term it’s been a no-lose proposition for spammers, phishing, and general aggressive marketing.
I’d argue the opposite. We need more things to be free and standardized. There is no universal way to send a file, store a file, send a text or picture message for example. Email, with a basic design that’s over 40 years old has had to fulfill all of that itself, and does so reasonable well, all things considered.
They say, on a free email-like service.TBF Lemmy might develop a spam problem yet, so that’s a little unfair. It really has to be per-message microtransactions to make a difference, though.
That’s what I was thinking. Just some minor amount to make senders do a cost benefit analysis.
