Yes, people who don't participate in the evil CA system get attacked by corporations. These "errors" are warnings actually, but fucking HSTS turns them into "critical errors" so the users can't access stuff at all unless it is approved by the Internet police called CA. Don't dislike ones who try reject this system and use self-signed certificates. Normal people are stuck to a few big email providers anyway, and I don't think there are issues sending mails to servers not participating in the evil system.
(other ACME CA name here) IS NOT AN ALTERNATIVE.
Interesting take, it sounds like a similar issue to that of WHATWG and browsers. However, from a practicality standpoint, and trying to get "normal people" aboard this seems like a rather large hurtle to overcome, as you would have to explain this to every person and hope that they would follow through.
So I was taking a look at Hashbang (were they inspired by Crunchbang, the Linux distro at all?), the first thing they seem to suggest is trusting them to run a script on your computer. Kinda odd but the simplicity at least is interesting (yeah I know and will download it first before running obviously).
