Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service
the entire world.
If only they could develop a federated short message system.
Messenger/WhatsApp/slack messaging style but federated like email
Matrix is one example of such a system.
check out deltachat, it’s an email client with an interface like an instant messaging app
Email still has it’s place. So changing the interface will likely make email less useable.
Ideally something alongside email but not email.
Matrix is pretty much that already.
Email was originally one of the first federated systems. Anyone can host a server and send messages back and forth from other servers with a set standard. That basically is federation.
Email is federated, it’s just not really a medium people want to limit to 500 chars…
Nothing at all stopping you from writing a client that only allows 500 char messages in and out.
Someone even built a chat system that used email under the hood.
