Thinking about the Mastodon → email analogy further, I wonder how long it is until some provider offers the same service with customizable domains like GSuite. Virtually nobody actually hosts their own email but every company uses their own domain name.

There are already some dedicated Mastodon hosting companies, but I wonder if a big one will emerge as the go-to. I feel it is inevitable, but I just wonder what it will look like.

@cassidyjames The profit motive for Google is reading your email for data. As long as it's cost effective to try and scan posts and create targeted ads there's going to be a similar push on here. Ultimately I expect that some servers will start encrypting their posts.
