That’s the other direction, isn’t it? The point of UUCP, NNTP, and Echonet (and SMTP, for that matter) is message distribution between servers with intermittent connectivity by batching and relaying messages. Can I host an ActivityPub node that both publishes and receives (and, if we’re talking Echomail, relays) stuff if I only have an Internet connection for an hour per day? Can the whole federation function like that?
(An ActivityPub-NNTP interconnect sounds like something that public-inbox really should support, now that I think about it.)
