Interesting history and analysis of SMTP’s history. How can we prevent fedi and other open protocols from suffering the same fates?
I’m not sure what you mean with that or how it relates to what I said, could you elaborate?
As I understood you said that we should make email paid to stop spammers.
Nono, I’m saying it costs to spam because spammers have to keep buying new domains as their previous domains get blocked or defederated.
Why don’t they use existing domains? I don’t think 100% of them require a phone number. And didn’t know it’s possible to defederate an email provider.
