Can’t a corporation just enter the space whenever they want to? Can’t they start or even buy out larger instances? Even if Lemmy does take off, wouldn’t this inevitably happen anyway if the space gets popular enough?

    That’s absolutely not true. I run my own email server with multiple domains and multiple accounts and it’s no where close to a difficult IT task.

      If anything it’s the ISPs that will hassle you for outbound SMTP. There are ways around that but generally blocked by default

        You’re talking about something completely unrelated to security then. If you want to run services out of your home then you need to buy a business level connection. Or find a VPS service.

        None of this will cause you problems with the big names in email as long as you follow the spam procedures.
