We were talking about federated software, based on a shared protocol but with many different implementations vs centralized software (as in run by one entity, not as in non-distributed).
Your pedanticts are what the whole discussion was about. So your pedantics aren’t valid.
I get where you are coming from but you clearly equated email to software which is wrong. It’s not a software. The rest of your points are valid. No need to get pissy.
And if eMail (the whole system) wasn’t federated but instead would be run by a single company, then it would be: yes, a single software implementation.
Pro tip: any comment that begins with “to be pedantic” usually adds nothing to the discussion and has the sole purpouse to make the pedant feel superior over everyone else. It’s a good way to annoy everyone else in the discussion.
You seriously need to pull your head out your ass.
Email is not a software. It’s a horrible example. It’s no different than saying SNMP is software. It’s fundamentally wrong.
Now I was nice. Yes it was stupid to bring up but not everyone is in IT so not everyone would know your example of email as a software is wrong. That is why I, quite nicely, brought it up. Not to hate simply it’s a bad example and it still is.
Yet here you are doubling down on aggressive bullshit for being politely advised your example was shit.
