Email is the cockroach of the internet - it outlives every wave trying to kill it. Forget Slack, forget Discord, forget chat apps. Email is universal, decentralized, and asynchronous. It's not sexy, but it's the ultimate survivor.

@Daojoan It's always funny when someone says "This app eliminates email" or "you don't have to use email after this"... But, why? I love email!

@rolle Meh, the main issue with email is that it doesn't provide any sort of encryption, authentication or integrity check. It was made when no one expected bad guys to exist. Email has been the #1 reason why most people and companies get hacked, phished or scammed for decades.

@daniel @Daojoan Every tool needs to be used with consideration regardless of the history or means. It doesn't make the tool inherently bad.
