> Now, most people I talk to about this tell me they hate their email. It's a spam and junk-filled box full of nothing but coupons, ads, and check-ins from their boss. And I agree. It is just that. Indeed one of the problems with decentralized and federated technologies is exactly that: they're filled with spam, junk, and mixed uses. But that mundanity is the true magic. This is the best outcome? On a related note: if "No, I don't want to sign up for your newsletter" were a browser setting, I would check it immediately and never turn it off. Come to think of it, I want a "block slide-overs" setting because apparently "block pop-ups" wasn't enough and web designers/saboteurs decided "hey, let's make unprompted inline modal windows and use them everywhere!"
