Fediverse is ActivityPub
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
According to Wikipedia, ActivityPub is the "most widely used" protocol, but not the "only" protocol. Still not sure if email would qualify though.
fair enough, i wonder if there are lessons to learn from email that can help the fediverse
