I know a lot of older guys will disagree with me here, the guys that use mailing lists to work on FOSS projects, many of whom I respect very much, but I think email sucks. I only use it for the same reason I have a phone number: because some people need me to have one in order to contact me. I don't like email. I think the problems with it are shortcomings of the protocol. I'd rather not use it. But I do, as a last resort contact method. For me, people that use email are like people that primarily communicate over SMS. If I need to talk to you and that's all you'll use, I can. But if there's another way to talk to you I'd rather use that. Xmpp, matrix, signal, shit even telegram and discord if I have to, are preferable to SMS or email. But otherwise, yeah I have some email addresses and a phone number if you insist on doing things that way.
