I thought we were slowing down due to the roundabout anyway? So that’s a different context than what you’re describing?

The argument might be made, that this is a problem with many (most?) ticket management systems. How difficult would it be to design a mechanism that facilitates humans being nice to each other, rather than making humans emulate emotionless

Yes it is. I just redirect the other way round, so those ever rarer individuals typing in domains are also served fine on my websites. And also to automatically grab the https. I just find it's ever slightly more "honest" to

The distinction between sync vs async messaging isn’t as easy to figure out these days as it was when snail mail vs phone call were the primary options.

There seems no way to prove or disprove that statement, since the evolution of the web created this reality and a different reality never got tested. The current reality arguably depended on significant forks in the road of history, at leas
