Email is a technology, yes. ActivityPub is also a technology. Correct, nobody "owns" either. That's where the similarity ends though. If SatanCorp comes along and sets up their own instance, they get everything everyone posts. Every message they send. Instances can defederate, yes, which requires SatanCorp to spend another 10 dollars on a host name. I don't think people understand how trust based and fragile ActivityPub and Lemmy are, or how little privacy there is in any of what you do here, from good actors or bad.

https://gui.fediseer.com/ already allows instances to establish trust with each other.

If a scenario like yours happens, admins would probably switch to an allow list model where new instances need to demonstrate trust

Every message they send.

They can already scrap all the content.

What you're suggesting is defederation by default. On the "fediverse".

You just can't gey the point, huh?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure. Why don't you enlighten me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll give you a hint. Try reading the original thread but put aside your own agenda.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, I want you to tell me what the point is. Seems like it's obvious to you?

I rather you learn to fish than me hamd you a fish. You got this!

How embarrassing for us both. Me unable to get the point, and you unable to convey it. A real failure of communication.

Just a inherent nature of communication via text. Best people can do is call out the cracks. Hope you and OP are able to get somewhere.
