> Something like an extension of email, without instances acting as gatekeepers
Email has "instances" that act as gatekeepers. Gmail is one, Outlook is another, Fastmail is...
They are both federated systems and on these systems (email, fediverse, matrix, xmpp...) end users have accounts on servers that then connect between themselves to create the whole network.
The only difference is the underlying protocol and/or the main purpose.
