Slight nitpick, slack allows XMPP and IRC clients to connect if you get your admin to flip a switch. They can't obviously guarantee the security of arbitrary clients and so they have it turned off by default.
Email is a great and open system though. Horrible in many ways, but also wonderful.
- matt4077 10y agoThanks for nitpicking. And yes, email has all sorts of problems, although I'd argue that since the spam problem has essentially been solved none of those actually impact the end user anymore. I'd only wish that it were easier/possible to securely run your own mail server. On the web side of things, it also appears as if we've gotten to a point where it's easy for the vendors (Google/Apple/MS) to innovate without threatening openness. I'd wish we'd be in the same situation for messaging/mail.
