alt Hacker NewsIt is literally one of the last free and open channels on the Internet – I suggest you work on supporting its use and keeping it that way rather than moving to something controlled for profit or data harvesting.

There is no such thing as a free and open channel on the internet that will not suffer the tragedy of the commons.

Calling it a "free and open channel" when 80% of consumers are on Microsoft/Google addresses that control who can deliver e-mail is laughable. It's dead, Jim.

It being free and open is exactly what the big providers can't stand and why they are coming up with ever more "standards" that are complex to configure as well as "reputation" scores that are hard for small senders to clear.
Also why they do non-standard stuff like accepting mail but then simply not delivering it, rather than bouncing it.
