Even so, much like how users of one email service such as Gmail can still send emails to users of another service such as Outlook, users may still view content and interact with users on any other instance in the fediverse
which implicitly says email is not considered part of the fediverse by comparing the two.
that’s not what the quoted text says at all… let’s rephrase this:
much like how users of one lemmy service such as lemmy.world can still reply to users of another service such as kbin.social, users may still view content and interact with users on any other instance in bluesky
this doesn’t say that lemmy/kbin isn’t part of the fediverse. it takes no position on that fact, merely saying that the things conceptually work in a similar manner
Your rephrasing changed it qualitatively. Of course it takes no position on whether Lemmy is part of the Fediverse considering it now does not have the word Fediverse in it.

According to Wikipedia, ActivityPub is the “most widely used” protocol, but not the “only” protocol. Still not sure if email would qualify though.
The others listed are bluesky, nostra and farcast. I suppose we could count protocols that nobody uses…

The mention of email is

It seems like reading comprehension is not what it used to be.
“Much like” == “very similar too” AKA, “close, but no cigar”
You wouldn’t compare something to the same something, that’s kind of the point of comparisons.

You can call it whatever you want. Email has been around since the 70s. Bluesky and ActivityPub sure have not.
