I know this, but a lot of people don't understand this difference. The point was comparing lemmy to email doesn't necessarily help regular folks, who has no idea how email work.
Fair enough. It's wild to me people don't understand email since they have to remember the @something.bleh, but I guess for them it just 'is' like that, and they don't understand the why.
I've heard people saying they don't switch to Firefox from Chrome because they use Gmail and other google services. I've seen people who had multiple email apps on their phones for different email addresses, and they were shocked when I told them they could use a single one.
We live in a very tech related bubble here on lemmy, a lot of people just wants to get the job done, and don't care about how things work under the hood.
