minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoPeople have different definitions of “the fediverse”. To some people fediverse is ActivityPub, but to some people it is any federated protocol. SMTP is a federated protocol, so some people would consider it part of the fediverse. POP3 isn’t federated, it is standardized but different POP3 servers don’t connect to each other in regular process of the protocol.
