Gregory's Server@aral this is breaking my heart, I shouldn’t have read this first thing in the morning 😭
I’m intimately familiar with this problem (been running my own mail since at least 1999) and they’ve almost worn me down too. When I consider this I can’t see any reason they can’t use the same trick to undermine any protocol, including ActivityPub.
The worst part is that my email server work just fine talking to other email servers, it’s just not compatible with AOL err.. Gmail.
Fuck
