I HATE email
(sub.wetshaving.social)
I hate AI Slop profile images.
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.
Email is also fantastically based for "getting it in writing" when you're getting abused / exploited at work.
Printing or downloading emails as evidence? Easy peasy.
Extracting message chains from some ridiculously long Slack/Discord/WhatsApp/whatever proprietary messenger app? Pulling teeth. Usually involves a ton of screenshotting.
When I worked at a public library I used to have people screenshotting ridiculously long Facebook messenger chains because their lawyer demanded it all be printed out...and sometimes they'd demand the printouts faxed.
(Usually divorce cases. Sad.)
Absolute insanity.
What sort of team setting are you in that your whole team doesn't have a single IM messaging platform that everyone in your company has?
Why do you have "5 or 7" apps? Being able to communicate externally, with consistency, is the reason for email, that's it. If anyone sends me an email with a question or comment that isn't hyper specific I immediately tell them to go post in a relevant slack channel so others can search for the question/comment in the future.
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 too got an email about policy change. What's weird is that I did not get such email on my main email, which is used for my reddit account, but I did get that email on another email that I mostly use to sign up on random sites. That email said it affects a reddit account by the name I never heard before and it was empty (zero posts/comments), created 2-3 years ago, so that was weird
Your email address is visible to pawb.social admins I guess.
Could be a mistype, if your mail is vaguely recognizable language. I know my "email neighbor" has gotten a fair share of my mistypes.
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.
