    clunky and slow interface of email that for some reason we continue using 30 years later

    Email is actually great, it’s the original fediverse - anyone can start a server and interoperate with everyone else. With a decent client it doesn’t need to be clunky either, although with 90% of people stuck in webmail I can understand why people think it sucks.

      It’s not great at all. It’s messy and disorganized and confusing and very much not private, and people don’t use it properly. No client can fix that. If it was “the original fediverse” we wouldn’t need a new one.
