A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

this is such a nonsense argument, people navigate email just fine despite every single platform sending emails from their own domain.
Sure but you have to remember people are not tech savvy at all. They're used to email, but they do not see the correlation with the fediverse. Try explaining that to the average Joe and see where that leads you.
