11. In the end, we will be hit with a deluge of spam simply because Gmail is effective at locking out email spam, USENET is dead, enshittification has killed the utility of the public internet for advertisers as well as users of web search, and because *spamming it's cheap*. And unlike X/twitter there's nowhere to build centralized moderation (yet).
12. I'm pretty sure there are viable anti-spam strategies for the fediverse. But the current situation is a wakeup call.
