I keep seeing this analogy and unfortunately that’s not how email servers work so it never really helps honestly. The servers are the To: fields, not the From: fields. And there’s also no real analogy about privacy. With most email providers the intent isn’t that everyone reads everyone else’s email. So frankly I really don’t know what insight this is supposed to provide if it doesn’t behave like email.

In principal, Mastodon and Lemmy are exactly the same.

In the office that I work in, I’d be surprised if I’d need more than one hand to count how many people would understand this.
