@ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com also, in this line of comparison, someone thought it was a good idea to include SMS support in the email software he was developing, and after dropping the whole project due to health reasons, someone else picked the project to maintain it: enter Mbin
The original project, Kbin, was more designed with Reddit/Lemmy in mind, but had support for microblogging, e.g. Twitter/Mastodon. Since the original developer had to leave development, someone forked it, named it Mbin, and keeps adding features since.
Oh. So does an mbin client have SMS too?
What is an aggregator?
Edit: Also, thanks for explaining.
@ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com It doesn't have SMS. It was just a comparison.
And aggregator is something or someone that aggregates, that brings things together. The fediverse network is one, for example, as it brings together the several sites you see in users' IDs, such as Divisions by Zero, The/Brain/Bin, Blรฅhaj Zone, Mastodon Social, etc.
