If there is one thing I can count on, its that Lemmy is constantly going to be full of "capitalism bad" comments.
Honestly the best answer is to use software that can be self hosted. That's hard to do with email but you should make sure you can migrate away from a service if you decide that it no longer suites you. We live in a free market so you can decide what email service you use.
These days, it's unfortunately more or less technologically impossible to convince other email providers that your email provider is legitimate. Blame the prevalence of spam.
Yeah, email is kind of a broken technology
