So how come email spam still exists
We were really naive back when email was invented.
Is there anything about Lemmy’s architecture that will prevent this problem?
While Lemmy versions maintain some backwards compatibility, Lemmy is designed to move forward, and allow incremental security improvements. And it is possible to apply significant security updates to individual servers without losing access to the out of date ones.
Email really doesn’t have an equivalent way to improve security, Incrementally, without dropping large legitimate parts of the network.
DMARC and DKIM are making finally progress for email security- by dropping large legitimate parts of the network.
Yeah. God does seem super fragile, to hear their supposed friends talk.
