I believe emails should not be used. There are or should be better alternatives. Account creation should be handled by passkeys.

Email is legacy. Insecure and content is just a webpage...

Sometimes I see things like this and relate a little. Then I see the comments and wonder why more people don't have two emails.

One for random accounts/signup and one for serious accounts and human communication.

You missed the one about the data breach that they are still investigating, but subtly hint that your full contact details, credit card, social security number, health status, sexual orientation, bank account, and passwords were sold on the dark web.

I wish you could separate the automated notification system emails from the living, breathing human sitting down to write you a message emails. Also, automated emails calling you by your name ("Hi ${name}!") should be banned.

You don't hate email; you hate BAD email. Probably broadcast junk.

GOOD email is private Bank statements over a provably secure e2e transport marked clearly for filters (with a JSON section for import automatically; am I right?). It's "here is a new copy of the plans." It's "Dear Aunt Helen."

Every now and then, although I know and support the alternate position for reasons I think have been shown as obvious, repeatedly, I sometimes think a 1¢ postage for unsolicited mail - okay, make it a buck - would be okay... IFF that could be figured so the recipient would be assured of getting half. Make it cost; make it pay.

No no, hear me out. Unpaid transit charges for unsolicited bulk email by the person owning the domain is now inter-region or international wire fraud, and the people making a habit of it will build up enough that they'll warrant action. Ergo, make it financial and maybe we'll see cops raiding scam shops.

That's the dream anyway....

Not a fan of BONTO!’s forced arbitration clause though.

Zombo’s never left me 🫂

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.

Most of my e-mails are the automated system for the hospital network I have most of my doctors through. I don't really have many accounts with things though, and usually when I get something from one it is because I logged in on a device I hadn't previously, or changed some information, or ordered something. That and the video call meeting stuff with a couple doctors. Meh.
