       This morning I took a look at the spam I received overnight. Excluding what my system rejected (so, messages that never reached my inbox), 87% came from MSFT or Google - straight from the mail servers of those two companies.Yet many people choose these big providers - now near monopolies - because they "actively fight spam".Or maybe fighting spam is just the perfect excuse to crush the decentralization of email?#OwnYourData

       @stefano I've heard some people choose gmail and outlook over small electronic mail servers so that gmail and outlook don't consider them spam

       @bartholin Yes, unfortunately, it's a fairly common practice. "So as to have a better chance of not being marked as spam". Then I saw Google users get marked as spam by other Google accounts, seemingly for no reason.

       @stefano @bartholin When I was a GSOC mentor, some emails from a Google project on a Google mailing list to Google address were marked as spam by Google
