Remember when mail was useful? When you opened the letter box hoping to see a letter from a friend who moved to a different city?
Now mail is just like email. Or to put it differently, email became like it's physical predecessor.
We have a law in German that you can opt out of advertisement on the mail by putting a sticker on to your mailbox that states "No Advertising". Companies have to respect it or will be fined.
I wish there was a "No advertisement please" sticker for my inbox too, but a junk filter will have to do.
Email is the original Fediverse.
[quick look at my gmail]... I currently have 781 unread messages in my inbox.
Rookie numbers.
Every month or so I'll just do a "from: (name of bulk sender)" search, tick the "select all" box, and wipe huge chunks of it out hahaha.
Don't forget
(At the bottom of the email)
...You can still opt to use the public justice system that already exists if you disagree with this. You simply must send your disagreement in writing upon a clay tablet delivered by a specific courier to a remote P.O Box in Illinois within the next 32 business hours.
They forgot the newsletters you get twice a day* (*thrice if you opted out of newsletters) and the deluge of spam when everyone at Bonto sold your email address while they were going out of business.
Mail is made so much better when using an alias system like SImpleLogin from Proton. Just create a new mail for everything (except Atlassian the idiots) and when they start doing bullshit you can terminate the email.
Enabling OTP code 2FA will also reduce the verification emails
Meanwhile:
No, I don't like e-mails, they're all spam, I only have an account to register other accounts. Why can't we continue our chat here on Natziapp (formerly known as Chatter)? Yes, I know, it's full of nazis, and stuff, but if we convince him hard enough, he could change for the better.
Specifically make sure that the "subscribe to newsletter and offers" is NOT checked.
Get a marketing email from them within 24 hours anyway.
I have a mail account I only use for humans and each mail is a delightful surprise 😁
I do miss BONTO! though. Not gonna lie.
