 Literally the worst remaining protocol to have survived the early internet. 
 name a better async protocol for comms though 
 Uh… nostr? 😅

Seriously, though, we don’t have a replacement because no replacement has ever hit the critical mass needed to shift society away from email. Just because it’s the dominant option doesn’t mean email isn’t also shitty broken protocol. 
 there are no good async nostr clients 
 What i would want in an async nostr client:

An inbox! A place where i can archive stuff ive finished dealing with. Also may be working on this. 
 Ahh I don’t like it cos I hate receiving boring emails 🥹 just want to tell them to bugger off, I’m daydreaming here, but I can’t cos it’s mean 🥲

There was one guy that put a constant out of office that read ‘I probably won’t read this’. That guy is my hero 🥹🔥
