It's not implimented because the developers of lemmy have been prioritizing other issues and features. They say they're open to code contributions, so someone would have to volunteer to do it.
I've got bad news for you about cars being sold over the last 15 years.
Thanks for clearing that up!
What's a Lemmy group?
I hope the responses here resonate with you and help you clear up misunderstandings you have.
Imagine if someone who served time in prison and afterwards got their life on track had their parole deemed violated because they watched some YouTube videos at the wrong time or their location data placed them close to an event that they had no knowledge of or association with.
Yeah BlueSky has a lot of control over the network but I wouldn't say that email isn't federated because Google controls a lot of the email network.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Bluesky released a personal data server implementation openly. But now that they did, it looks like the AT protocol network minimally qualifies as federated.
Bluesky is now a federated network, just incompatible with ActivityPub.
Stop asking what the opinions of others are and write what you want to. That's my advice.
I get the skepticism. I'm not all that optimistic about Bluesky myself, but they clearly already made an original thing and other "techbros" have made original things many times.
The good news is this is all openly designed and implimented so it could be used for something potentially better.
First. Breathe. Do some mindful meditation if you'd like.
Second. Do NOT quit!
Third. Know that you can call in sick on Monday if you need to.
Fourth. Find a lawyer that specializes in employment law and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues. You can do this by contacting a lawyer that is busy and specializes in something else (like real estate, or whatever) and asking if they know someone that can help. Most lawyers won't charge for an initial consultation, so use that first call/meeting to it's fullest.
Fifth. Go into the office and find out what their response to the email(s) is. There's no point in guessing and avoiding finding out. Record conversations (find out about consent for recording in your state). Write notes.
Yeah I'm not disappointed to see this instance close up.
