The other edge of the sword: it's now virtually impossible to run your own mail server. POP3, IMAP etc are all open protocols used as the base for email (a common analogy for the fediverse as it too is federated). Then Big Tech came up with DKIM, DMARC, SPF, etc to save us from spam^1^ when in fact it's just a fancy form of embrace-extend-extinguish.

The same can happen to the fediverse.

^1^ if it was weakening of cryptografy it'd be think of the children
