    Remember when mail was useful? When you opened the letter box hoping to see a letter from a friend who moved to a different city?

    Now mail is just like email. Or to put it differently, email became like it’s physical predecessor.

      We have a law in German that you can opt out of advertisement on the mail by putting a sticker on to your mailbox that states “No Advertising”. Companies have to respect it or will be fined.

      I wish there was a “No advertisement please” sticker for my inbox too, but a junk filter will have to do.

    Meanwhile:

    No, I don’t like e-mails, they’re all spam, I only have an account to register other accounts. Why can’t we continue our chat here on Natziapp (formerly known as Chatter)? Yes, I know, it’s full of nazis, and stuff, but if we convince him hard enough, he could change for the better.

    I would mark it as spam at “slorp is now bonto” if not at “thank you for creating…”

    My email is pretty clean. I still have my AOL email that was my AIM account in like middle / high school. I give that out to any companies that want an email address, while my Gmail account stays nice and neat. The only thing is my wife will occasionally buy stuff in my name and give out my sacred Gmail account. I damn near filed divorce papers.

    You missed the one about the data breach that they are still investigating, but subtly hint that your full contact details, credit card, social security number, health status, sexual orientation, bank account, and passwords were sold on the dark web.

      I only really liked it when it was Slorp. When they changed over to BONTO that’s when the enshitification started. Where my Slorp homies at?

            Yeah if you don’t mind running a bunch of non FOSS plugins. What you want in 2025Q3 is Brix – it’s like Bgrams if the Slorp team made it. Full, batteries-included Bgrams/animal/CURT3 interop. Yeah.

            The one guy who maintains it is a solipsist who doesn’t believe any of us exist, but you can’t argue with his results.

    That is why I have:

    • a few emails for registering wherever I should be able to do stuff without an account, but for some reason can’t. One of them is a gmail for every place that allows to log in with google.
    • one email that I use for account, where I actually may give a shit about the the emails I may recieve from the services I registered/subscribed for.
    • one email used exclusively for e-mailing. No accounts, no subscriptions.
