Good points.
After some reflection, I think this is only true in absence of certain realities, though:
- Email is mostly a P2P experience. ActivityPub posts are globally public by default.
- ActivityPub is generally more informal, faster and variadic than email.
Both points influence the dynamic of a social network. "spam" is a greater issue in a Fediverse-like system, and I sensibly guess that we've arrived at this point with blocklists being prevalent for other reasons too.
But good points. At least I can maintain alt accounts with little effort. The resilient Fediverse proves itself and floats.
