Interesting history and analysis of SMTP’s history. How can we prevent fedi and other open protocols from suffering the same fates?

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.

It absolutely is, your mail provider “de-federates” aka blocks mail from plenty of other e-mail providers.

No, my point is that if spammers were to spam on the fediverse, they’d need to buy new domains constantly as their previous domains are defederated, I’m not talking about email.

So you’re offering a system that requires the instance/provider admins to manually federate with others instead of the federation being enabled by default?
