@ErikUden I know. I don't think the comparison is good. You need a Google account anyway and it comes with free Mail. So you can just use that
@joshix @ErikUden Good point. The analogy holds for e-mail ca. 20 years ago. Who knows, Fedi services might come bundled with your browser, your workplace etc soon, similar to what they try in the Netherlands currently. 🤔 https://www.surf.nl/en/mastodon-pilot-for-research-and-education
@joshix @ErikUden why do you need a Google account? For what? It's convenient, yes. But need?
@joshix @ErikUden Do you mean (mainstream) Android phone owners? For iPhone and Huawei Google accounts aren't necessary, they have own accounts for app stores.
