Email has a place. I always let my teams know that text, phone call, or IM / DM aren't professional ways to communicate.

The reason being is that it isn't externally travelable - you can't send it to the next recipient in a format that is accepted by most people.

Also I hate needing to check five or seven fucking messaging apps to get all of the info consolidated. Send a goddamned email with everything once the thought is finished.

Why do you have "5 or 7" apps? Being able to communicate externally, with consistency, is the reason for email, that's it. If anyone sends me an email with a question or comment that isn't hyper specific I immediately tell them to go post in a relevant slack channel so others can search for the question/comment in the future.

I would mark it as spam at "slorp is now bonto" if not at "thank you for creating..."

Get your .0012¢ for a $7 processing fee!

That hasn't been my experience. My portion of the settlement is usually about $100.00. it's insulting, but it still spends.

BONTO! was sooo good. Like it really improved the Slorpiness.

[–] radiohead37@lemmynsfw.com 50 points 1 week ago

No way! BONTO! was just the enshitfication of Slorp by a private equity firm.

[–] CuriousRefugee@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

<unwarranted rage No way, BONTO! sucked. You couldn't even Slorp your entire friends list anymore, and they added all of those BONTOgrams for no reason. We disagree on a topic, so I despise you now and your entire genetic line. </rage

But you should really try NeWSlarP, a FLOSS fork of Slorp by the original developer that brings back both SlorpTokens and Schlarpmänner!

<unwarranted rage No way...

... </rage

This is the wildest syntax I've ever seen! At first, I thought it was unparsable nonsense. Then I realized that your tags are capital-letter-terminated. Is this from a language I don't know or have you unwittingly cooked up a piece of a cursed programming language? If the latter, I propose Slorp as its name.

Subject: your billing statement is now available

Body: Log on to our website because we couldn't possibly JUST FUCKING TELL YOU HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY OR WHATEVER YOU USED THIS MONTH DIRECTLY IN THE E-MAIL; no, we've got to play fucking games and make you do extra work and stop you from automatically having a record of your shit without having to deliberately log on to the platform we control and download them individually with 30 seconds worth of clicking between each one.

WTF is even the point of the email if there's NO USEFUL INFORMATION IN IT?!

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Information channels arent for communication.

They're for advertising, provocation, and corporate shibboleths of consent.

Maybe get on board with the 20th century, grandma.

It's annoying, but from a data security point of view it makes sense, personal information like that is more secure behind the login on their website than in an e-mail in plain text.

The same could be said for any form of communication, really.

I remember when phones used to be good. Now it's all

  • We have important information about your car's warranty.
  • Here's information on new solar panel installation that doesn't work with your home / location.
  • You've been selected to answer a quick 15 question survey.

I remember when mail used to be good. Now it's all

  • I'm a disgraced Nigerian prince and I need your help to protect my multi-million dollar fortune.
  • Here's all the important sales WalMart is having this week! Don't miss out!
  • Here's your electricity bill that you're enrolled in auto-pay for. No action is needed on your part, but we're sending you this 12-page summary anyway.

Will happen to every new medium eventually. It's inevitable under capitalism.

Don't forget

  • "BONTO! is sneakily roping you into a binding private arbitration clause because they're planning to do some real shady shit that'll affect a critical mass of users!

(At the bottom of the email)

...You can still opt to use the public justice system that already exists if you disagree with this. You simply must send your disagreement in writing upon a clay tablet delivered by a specific courier to a remote P.O Box in Illinois within the next 32 business hours.

Slorp was so much better before they changed their name to Bonto. Only young people prefer Bonto, and they're idiots.

Bonto killed Slorp, Bonto is the only reason it shutdown.

I have a mail account I only use for humans and each mail is a delightful surprise 😁
