I see the email analogy all the time but I don’t think it’s the best one.
The fediverse is literally like Usenet or IRC. You log into a server and the servers talk to each other and sync messages behind the scenes.
It’s not a new concept. In fact it’s going back to the olden way of doing things.
Most people out there don’t know how IRC and the Usenet work. So even if this analogy is more accurate, it’s less useful.
In the meantime most people on the internet use email.
