    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.

      Is the “fediverse” some sort of secret club that I’m unaware of or something?

      The whole idea of the “fediverse” is that some aspect of it is cross-company, and federated across instances. Email fits that term exactly. The wiki entry doesn’t exclude email via the comparison, if anything it makes more of an argument that email is one of the first federated services to exist. The “fediverse” is just the collection of those federated services.

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