    It’s also not even close to how email works and plenty of people use email apps that aren’t tied to a provider.

      The app I’m using today has nothing to do with the instance I use.

      Just like email… clients just speak a protocol, and use a particular manner of presentation.

        That’s literally my point.

        Most people know that email isn’t tied to a provider app.
