tech? no! man, see...
people making the argument we should federate with megacorp instances based on the fact that you still send email to gmail users and I'm like ... hang on you really think the situation with email today is a good thing? like ... you want more of that disaster?
talk to anyone who's actually tried to run an email server this decade; I'm begging you

@technomancy I run my own email server. It's nowhere NEAR as complicated as getting fully-interoperable ActivityPub.
Having said that, Google and Facebook killed XMPP with this exact "create product, federate with open servers, accumulate users, defederate, tell users to switch to corporate servers if they want to talk to contacts, pivot to closed app to pull the ladder up" with Google Talk and Facebook Chat.
I suspect that Outlook, sadly, is the levy that protected against this with email.

@khm I set up gotosocial in like ... ten minutes
most of the time was spent messing with NAT
I find it very difficult to believe it would be possible to set up a mail server with less effort than that

@technomancy what is the situation with email?
