Interesting history and analysis of SMTP's history. How can we prevent fedi and other open protocols from suffering the same fates?

So you're offering a system that requires the instance/provider admins to manually federate with others instead of the federation being enabled by default?

You're misunderstanding me again. Please try reading what I said again.

I'm not suggesting allowlist federation, though that is another tactic that could be used. I'm just saying that a spammer on the fediverse would be quickly defederated and would have to buy a new domain to keep spamming, which would probably be too expensive to justify.

Yes, mister/miss, I read your comments again and I admit I did completely misunderstand you. I'm sorry for that and I'm extremely grateful you chose to explain your point in a friendly manner instead of starting a drama or acting in a toxic manner.
