    E-mail is also a federated protocol. Imagine if every time you wanted to send an e-mail, you had to check whether your provider likes the recipient’s provider and if not, create an account at the recipient’s provider (if that’s even possible).

      Oh you mean like that thing email servers do when they block other email servers. Yeah imagine that. That’d be wild! 😂

        Yeah, I know that and how the same people who support defederation love to complain about Gmail and Outlook blocking their home server.
