Legendary post.

has a lot of the same characteristics as email. But in email, the duties of each part of the process are split up, and you can mix-and-match software. Fediverse software is more tightly coupled than that.

SMTP is like the ActivityPub server-to-server protocol. Like in email with sendmail/exim/postfix/etc, you could have a program that does just this.

IMAP is like the server-to-client protocol. Like in email, with courier/dovecot/etc, you could have a program that does just this.

One thing the fediverse DOES have is multiple client programs. Like with Thunderbird/Roundcube/K-9 Mail, you can use a few different fediverse client apps, or even a couple that run on the web, like what's that one, Elk?

But a bunch of them, the "user-agents" are tied to the backend. Like, you can't use Mastodon's client with a Firefish server. I think it'd be better for the ecosystem if the clients were split from the servers, and the servers were split into S2S and S2C.

"Well hey, now, let's not get hasty. If you investigate me for crimes, you will find that I committed crimes! That would be bad for mee. Is that really what you want?"

Okay, but if the social pressures were equal, which would you rather be?

Cuz, like, being scared of the social consequences of transitioning doesn't make you not trans.

"I'm not #trans, I just want to look good. And as a 100% heterosexual man, the only thing that looks good to me is a woman, so that is how I must look. Why don't I make myself into a good-looking guy? How would I, a 100% heterosexual man, know what one of those looks like??"
