RSS is kinda different. Subscribing is really just polling a file. ActivityPub messages are primarily sent around by first requesting a server to send messages to you. It’s a pull versus push thing.
I love RSS because it’s so simple. It actually goes a long way in the fediverse where most activity, which is read-only. Only a small percentage of users ever comment/post stuff. @electricprism@fediverse
If Email was sorted into “public” and “private” it could be.
Theoretically a RSS reader is similar tech where it fetches all these sources, so in this case fetching public email account data.
Of course upvotes, badges, etc would need to be handled by a 3rd party service unless you made them public and added them to the email chain.
