They mentioned Lemmy, Peertube, Organic Maps, Friendica, /e/ os, Sailfish, Linux Mint, Codeberg, Ecosia, Librewolf, Waterfox, Mastodon, Matrix and Blender!
They have 100m users, this is a massive shoutout!
take all my eggs out of one basket to put them all into another?
Are there any federated email providers then?
Email is a federated protocol.
at the host level yes, but not at the user level
What is that even supposed to mean?
Yes it is, there are different people using email?
What I meant is: you cannot switch a specific email from one provider to another. Only option is for you to change your email address.
Compare that to say mobile phone numbers: there you have the option to keep your number when switching providers.
Portability of email is what’s missing.
edit: typo
You totally can. Get your own domain and combine it with whichever email provider you like.
right, I forgot to mention this option. Indeed a possibility
it requies some technical knowledge and is not something many people do, probably less than 1%
compare that to phone number portability is available automatically to everyone (perhaps dependent on juristriction)
