What I heard some people said about the fediverse was that before email was controlled by big corporations you can host your own email and no issues. Nowadays its much harder for a regular person to do this because big corporations took control of the federated email. So to my understanding even this social networks are in danger of the same thing happening. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong.

You are. It's just as easy now to host your own mail server as it was thirty years ago

Hosting mail is easy, not getting hit by spam filters is the difficult part

Agreed, but your emails actually reaching people wasn't in the initial requirements presented 😉
