- dredmorbius 4y agoFWIW, I also omitted what's perhaps the most telling sign: increasingly it is not possible to find an email address for an entity or know whether or not a found address is useful or monitored. That is: organisations are increasingly abandoning email, at least for public-facing work. Ironically, Google are perhaps most notorious for this (HN is one of numerous Google-email-contact alternatives for problem resolution). More generally, the end state of any universal communications medium of unlimited reach and access ... is abandonment. Absent some viable mechanism for curtailing usage, the only viable options become either shutting off the system entirely, or at best, randomly sampling from amongst submissions. Conversation, and communication, both scale poorly.
