I’m beginning to wonder if the email mental model some people suggest for #ActivityPub is a serious hindrance to understanding the concept of a federated, decentralized social graph.
@steve is email the "right" mental abstraction, or is it just the most convenient?
Even during the advent of email, "to", "cc", and "bcc" seemed oddly outdated, but that's because it too, came from something before it.
Nowadays with fine-grained permissions and ACLs baked into a lot of the software we already use, stuffing it into a recipient list seems awkward at best.
