Federation isn't like email at all. I don't know why people keep saying that. You'll never get a message saying "we're not receiving email from this server today" unless something has gone horribly wrong.

Email also doesn't hang with a green loading circle for hours when you try to log in.

As someone who runs multiple email servers, this is exactly how it works.

Some email providers will randomly or purposely block emails I sent to them. I get arbitrary blocks or dropped emails on sent emails.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
