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?

Nono, I’m saying it costs to spam because spammers have to keep buying new domains as their previous domains get blocked or defederated.

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.

You’re misunderstanding me again. Please try reading what I said again.
I’m not suggesting allowlist federation, though that is another tactic that could be used. I’m just saying that a spammer on the fediverse would be quickly defederated and would have to buy a new domain to keep spamming, which would probably be too expensive to justify.

You’re welcome m8, have a nice day
It absolutely is, your mail provider “de-federates” aka blocks mail from plenty of other e-mail providers.
