My experience in 2025 must be extremely different from yours. I don't even know what alternate channels you might have in mind.

  Chat. Matrix for nerds, discord for gamers and redditors, telegram for everyone else who cares and imessage/rcs for those who don’t.

    Exactly zero people I regularly communicate with other than my teenage son uses any of those regularly. The only people who use RCS to contact me are businesses sending notifications or spam. Unlike e-mail where I do get personal correspondence regularly. I don't expect my experience is typical, but I don't think yours are either - we all live in bubbles.

      I suppose you could say being younger is living in a bubble. I assure you nobody under 35 is using email for the majority of their personal correspondance. Email is for business.

        The claim above that we responded to was much broader.

    What's chat? I've used discord, but do 100x the volume in email and sms.
