You can send a letter OR a package OR pictures OR a birthday card, etc through the standard mail.

Big corporations lead you to believe that only MAIL could go their service X or PACKAGES go through service Y. Both could NOT go through the same, because they wanted to make MONEY.

Fediverse is the open service that proves them wrong. And it needs YOUR help to survive and thrive by putting your content into the fediverse and not those walled gardens.
