    With the software’s latest release, the social networking platform is introducing email newsletters, a feature that will allow writers to send their posts directly to subscribers’ inboxes, even if those subscribers don’t have or want a Mastodon account.

    My vision is that every user can use their account to become a spambot…

    Just think of it. A whole new set of accounts to manually add to your spam filter/unsub from.

    These guys are visionary.

    somthing random I was thinking about yesterday but we actually maybe need more “centralization” of some things… as much as I like decentralization

    or at least: I don’t have time to read everyone’s newsletter, but maybe only one good collection of newsletter(s)

    so, from many decentralized voices we need good aggregation of a few “curators”

      Like an aggregation tool? You can have that without centralization. For example, I use online RSS feed readers to aggregate the feeds of various news sites. That’s not centralization, is it?

        aggregation + curation though

        aggregation: collecting together tons of stuff

        curation: sifting through it
