OK, but who uses email anymore for personal communication?
At least for most people in my circle, family is using a social media platform or iMessages. And work is using Teams or Slack or whatever.
Work email is basically useless at this point. I'm completely drowning in various Teams chats created specifically for each "thread" of conversation, with just enough people to make it unique. Or inversely, created with too many people and all conversation is just lost to infinite scroll and walls of text.
I'd pine for a return to email. But no one uses it anymore. Only companies trying to get my attention and a few important forwards for tax receipts. I think email is dead.

- aezart 9mo agoTeams messages expire in 30 days at my job, we use email for anything that needs a paper trail
- rorylawless 9mo agoYup, email is usually the preferred communication tool of record. In a previous job, our messages on Teams were wiped after 8 days so anything that needed to be recorded had to be in an email or some form of document.
