Email has a place. I always let my teams know that text, phone call, or IM / DM aren't professional ways to communicate.

The reason being is that it isn't externally travelable - you can't send it to the next recipient in a format that is accepted by most people.

Also I hate needing to check five or seven fucking messaging apps to get all of the info consolidated. Send a goddamned email with everything once the thought is finished.

I love email, recently started subscribing to artists' and illustrators' (non-substack) newsletters and it's a great way to stay informed if they otherwise only have fascist social media accounts. The newsletters somehow also feel more personal than meny social media posts.

Photobucket is almost as bad as those extended car warranty companies.

Nicely worded. Summarize my inbox.

That why you should use multiple email accounts. One address for friends n family, one for spam that includes all confirmations etc., one for work stuff, one for bills and utilities that you must not miss, etc. It takes a little bit of effort to keep track of the multiple inboxes but it's better than having all your emails go to the same place

My email is pretty clean. I still have my AOL email that was my AIM account in like middle / high school. I give that out to any companies that want an email address, while my Gmail account stays nice and neat. The only thing is my wife will occasionally buy stuff in my name and give out my sacred Gmail account. I damn near filed divorce papers.

I hate AI Slop profile images.

I got an email the other day from Reddit about their privacy policy in the email account I made specifically for Lemmy and have not used AT ALL for Reddit. It is the only unexpected email I've ever had at this address and it made me wonder if someone else made a reddit account using my email. But then, it's not publicly visible on Lemmy, afaik. Is it somewhere?

I would mark it as spam at "slorp is now bonto" if not at "thank you for creating..."

Christ I'm old enough to have received the Canter and Siegal green card lottery email.
