       I'm glad to see Mastodon will be adopting the world's most popular decentralized social networking protocol: SMTP https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/17/mastodon-looks-to-newsletters-to-help-revive-the-open-social-web/

       As a side note, SMTP is my favorite cautionary tale of how decentralized protocols can become centralized over time

       @cwebber At the same time I feel like there's two worlds in SMTP:- The big senders, responsible for most of the spam these days, and where it's mostly about sending notifications.- And pretty small email servers where it's a social/community infrastructure first.
