minus-squareveroxii@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·1 month agoI see the email analogy all the time but I don’t think it’s the best one. The fediverse is literally like Usenet or IRC. You log into a server and the servers talk to each other and sync messages behind the scenes. It’s not a new concept. In fact it’s going back to the olden way of doing things.
