@mike that's how the "open web" has always worked; anybody can run an SMTP server and send email to anyone else. The responsibility for filtering the spam lies with the consumer.

@schizanon @mike yep, except the fediverse these days is more explicit that some “edge” decisions are made by the user themselves, some by instance operators/moderators, now with sharing block lists, arguably some decisions are made not at the edge any more.

@J12t email clients had spam filters before email providers did too

@schizanon but none of them called themselves “open email”. So “open social web” has some terminology problems imho that email never had.

@J12t it's just redundant: the "open" is implied in "web"

@schizanon @J12t Yes. Excellent points.
