You forgot to include email in your list, which is well and alive. Incidentally, it's distributed and open, too.

- PaulHoule 2y agoEmail is arguable thanks to the dominance of Gmail. Sure you can set up your own email server but if you are on a cable or DSL network just try connecting to port 25 somewhere. Even if you find a place that doesn't have port 25 blocked you will find deliverability is a problem. You might send an email to one normie and have it get through but try sending mail to 100 normies and you might back 28% or something. Email clients have a lot of pathology too which I think has to do with the influence of Outlook on the industry.
