I really wished the EU or something would step up against the monopoly #Microsoft has on #email with #Office365#Microsoft365. MS and #Google as well seem to decide who can deliver mail to their servers and who can’t (spoiler, anyone other than MS or Google).
You can tick off all the boxes (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, no spam reputation) and still they decide whether they want to deliver your mail or not. At the same time they happily spam your mail servers though.
@jake4480@Htbaa yeah and where the internet (web) was supposed to be a decentralized thing here we are with a couple of really big websites where everything happens. What happened to the small community websites, forums, fan/topic sites etc. The web used to be fun.
@Htbaa exactly. I've read and written a bunch on this. It's the big companies. When they take over, get huge, the fun web died or decreased to what it is now. We need that resurgence. Some of which I'm seeing.
What happened to the small community websites and forums? You're on one right now, aren't you? 🙂
But, they are small. Just like most people weren't on the Internet at all in the old days, now most people are on some corporate behemoth site today. In that regard, not much has changed.
What has changed is that email, in particular, has gone to hell. There was a time when anyone could send an email to anyone, no questions asked. Then spammers and profiteers got ahold of it…
@argv_minus_one@Htbaa@jake4480 very true and I realize that I’m on a small(ish?) community website. At the same time it’s still social media which is very different from what we had back in the day. With social media it’s all about what’s happening NOW. Yesterday is long forgotten.
But maybe we’ll be getting Fediverse powered forums or something?
