Incredible to think about that we got it right the first time (with email) and still had to spend the last 20 years complaining about centralized social networks.

Email has been "dying" for 20+ years. I'll believe it when I see it.

yeah its hard for an essential service to die. I will spout one of my super downvoted opinions but I think every government should be providing email service the same way they provide physical mail service. With all the rights currently given to physical mail. Im not saying as the only option and im being idealistic in thinking we can do like what we did with physical mail in this modern time. But I don't care. Its essential and there should be a version people have that is a right and cannot go away.

We've tried that in Germany. The De-Mail was already dead when it was born.

I mean it should not be. It should be run if no one is using it but government communication should always be through it so you know its legit. I'd be fine if it was not popular. I mean if everyone sent everything through ups and fedex I would still want usps to be a thing here.
