Do you think that it’s possible to build a web service to chat compatible with email , xmpp and matrix?
(and why not even with activityPub or rocketChat ?? )

You can run your own mail server and keep your emails on a device you control instead of e.g., gmail.

It's non-trivial so most people stick with letting someone else handle it. Just like you're probably not running your own Lemmy instance, but Lemmy is still decentralized.

Hehe You answered your own statement! If it were ever to become non-trivial : I'd certainly do it (even though I know people who do, are bombarded with spam).

:) Thank you. Yes Mail in a box has been around for a while. Still not straightforward, though.
