Scott MatterElectronic mail is so confusing. Why do I need to choose a provider and how do I even decide? And once I have an address, how do I find my friends’ addresses and send them letters? Will I only be able to send letters to people using the same provider?
Jonathan Deamer (he/him)@scottmatter Reminds me of asking, circa 1995, "if someone sends me an email and my modem is unplugged because I'm using the phone, will it be there when I plug back in?" 😂
Stephanie Gregoles@jonathan @scottmatter Getting used to mastodon totally feels like that. I do love that it feels much like the internet used to feel back in the day.
@stefgregoles It feels like it over-indexes for a certain kind of curious, early adopter nerd that I encountered (/was one of) on Usenet, too.
