I would add that if you automatize it somehow, then you don't "just use e-mail", but you have a different protocol for it (over email in this case).
- myaccountonhn 3y agoI think the beauty of email is that it's already an open, federated standard. Is it easier to build this new activitypub layer on top of all forges, or is it easier to build a decent tool on top of email?
- couchand 3y agoThe answer to that question depends on where "the mindshare" is, and unfortunately we're living in a future where many seem to believe the former is easy and the latter impossible.
- xyzzy_plugh 3y agoIt would be nice if it were the latter but given the stranglehold the major email providers have over email I think it's a lost cause. Just look at the hoops you have to go through to send a patch over gmail.
