    The mention of email is

    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.

      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.

      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.
