One word "email"
But I don't see many people talking about mail services defederating from each other
Actually it does all the time. People running their own email servers would block whole domains because they were spam.
That's a completely different beast, on a personal level people can do whatever they want I can even block domains on my mail rule. The point is using a third party service and not being able to communicate with someone else because admins/owner said so
So I set up an email server for my friends or my hobby train club and decide to ban another email server. Everyone in my club is now screwed. It actually fits better than I originally thought.
Blocking spam by sending server is basically defederation.
But you can go to your spam box and mark it as non spam(I think)
Kinda defeats the purpose of email lol.
Yeah, but that what's happening with lemmy for example
I mean i dont think it should be but what can i do about that?
Nothing, but if you describe it like an email then most people wouldn't understand why their world account does not work on haxbear
Except using a federated service is nothing like sending an email.
