Getting regular folk, myself included, off of these popular platforms - especially Gmail isn't economical for most people. Just changing your email address and migrating to another provider isn't an easy sell.
Whilst the motivation of this project is commendable it's not going to reach the volume of folks needed to make a difference.
Why? Signing up for FastMail or Migadu and redirecting your mail is very easy. If you use a custom domain, you don’t even have to change your address when you migrate to a new provider.

I'd suggest trying to talk the average American into doing that. You'd have to be quite out of touch with everyday people to think this is a battle you can win.
