To parrot back: Do you run your own email server? Unless you're running your own, you don't own your email identity, the server admin does.

I think distributed instances with their own rules are many steps forward from our current centralized position. Better is good.

Nope, email *domain* not email server. My email address is @parecki.com but it's gmail behind it. That means I can swap out gmail for running my own server later and nobody who emails me will ever notice. That's the difference.

  My earlier point is that everyone needing to buy a domain name is an unreasonable expectation for the vast majority of people. We pool resources for all sorts of things in meatspace society. Most people do not have a reason to be “every person for themself” digitally.
