most people think email is bad because the only client they’ve ever used is gmail
Discussion
No worries if not.
Kind regards
That's what people say about nostr and the only client they've used is... no, not Damus.
Well let's be honest, email is bad because eit wasn't built with privacy/security in mind
nostr was not built with privacy in mind either
to be fair, without all nodes on the internet being able to accept inbound connections, and the lack of ubiquity of onion routing, combined mean that there is always a problem of trust on the internet
the amount of gum-flapping that has gone on over the previous decades about this with regard to ipv6 is inordinate, probably one of those epic 4 foot thick dictionaries full of 6 point text, at least, and here we are still most ISPs give you only a temporary IPv4 address
Unfortunately not.... But it's also widely known that it isn't (and we still might be able to fix that, I'm sure you could tell me more about it)
Email on the other side is used by everyone and 99% of people think their gmail emails are private... They don't even think about the fact that there is a underlying protocol that is flawed on that regard fromthee ground up
There is a lot of confidential stuff sent over email, totally unencrypted... Some of those you don't even hae other options to receive them nowadays... No more paper, no extra secured/encrypted communication
Or outlook… *shudders*
Haha. I actually love outlook 😁
…Or even worse: hotmail
Email rules!
I would like to see some more nostr / email interoperability! Maybe even nostr based emaildomains of some kind.
Please tell me of a good client. I've used around 15 and I fucking hate email.
Email is bad bc of the way it’s used. I HATE receiving one-sentence emails from co-workers, it’s a complete productivity drain. You have a QQ? Send a slack/TEAMS message
The main difference is response time expectations. email is more async and respects peoples time and flow states.
how is it a productivity drain? just schedule email into specific times so that it doesn’t interrupt your productivity.
I loved Google Inbox
I think email is bad because it's a terrible way to communicate.
Proton isn't perfect but I'm happy to use it over Gmail. Google"s new motto by default is do evil.
