> As much as anything "email is open" and "Fediverse is subject to blocks" is a marketing problem more than anything. Email as an internet foundation tech has decades of accidental propaganda versus reality. Mastodon has a lot of loud critiques from people that either don't want it to survive or have some other political game they are playing. Agree entirely. I've argued (in recent threads) that Mastodon, just like Email, is not meaningfully Federated because ignoring this problem is what caused Email to be not meaningfully Federated. "Meaningfully Federated" as in, Email encourages centralization.
