    The email analogy is just bad, may as well say it’s like toast because any type of bread will fit any toaster

      Why do you think it’s bad? What analogy would you use instead?

      Comparing it to email highlights the decentralized nature vs things like Facebook or Twitter where the whole service is one website. It’s not a perfect analogy, but …that’s why it’s just an analogy.
