Gregory's Server@thegibson Imagine not needing a blog anymore. Instead you write up your Page object, and post it to your /outbox/. Now forever, anyone can look at what you've written, comment on it, share it, like it, etc.
How can email do this as effectively?

@indirection @thegibson Unless you run your own instance, you’re publishing it on the outbox of someone else’s computer, which is functionally equivalent to sending your email to a public mailing list. So, that’s how email does it. What you can’t do the Fediverse is sign messages. Reblogs just kind of trust on faith that it came from whom you said it did. So PGP is the killer app for email that nobody knows about.
