    Something in the veins of Mastodon. Still federated, but with validated peers and a better protocol. XMPP also was a front-runner for me, but unfortunately that one died over the last decade.

        No, email has a very lenient specification that causes compatibility issues between different implementations. In addition to that, it assumes good intentions by all parties involved (because it was created when only universities and similar entities had email services), and all workarounds for this involve optional standards (DKIM etc) that aren’t always implemented or implemented properly.
