The linked post shows how most non-tech people’s understanding of email is very very different from most of the people here.

    It’s not true, all ActivityPub IDs are URIs

      Yes exactly - those URLs contain the domain name, so you can’t change servers for a user as their ID is tied to the domain.

        They can be URNs (like magnet:), as shown above.

          Well no they can’t, because that’s not part of ActivityPub. In fact ActivityPub mandates HTTP URLs. Of course, any extension can choose to change that, but since nobody is actually supporting magnet links, it’s not relevant.
