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.

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.

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.

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

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....

Email is the original Fediverse.

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...

What is your alternative idea that isn't just improved email?

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.

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.
