Slorp was so much better before they changed their name to Bonto. Only young people prefer Bonto, and they're idiots.

Bonto killed Slorp, Bonto is the only reason it shutdown.

I have a mail account I only use for humans and each mail is a delightful surprise 😁

What the hell is BONTO! I don't remember making an account on BONTO! Why do I have a BONTO! account is someone impersonating me WAS MY EMAIL HACKED??? Oh wait it's just a rebrand of that one website that forced me to create an account 10 years ago.

They forgot the newsletters you get twice a day* (*thrice if you opted out of newsletters) and the deluge of spam when everyone at Bonto sold your email address while they were going out of business.

UNSUBSCRIBE

Mail is made so much better when using an alias system like SImpleLogin from Proton. Just create a new mail for everything (except Atlassian the idiots) and when they start doing bullshit you can terminate the email.

Enabling OTP code 2FA will also reduce the verification emails

Remember when mail was useful? When you opened the letter box hoping to see a letter from a friend who moved to a different city?

Now mail is just like email. Or to put it differently, email became like it's physical predecessor.

You missed the one about the data breach that they are still investigating, but subtly hint that your full contact details, credit card, social security number, health status, sexual orientation, bank account, and passwords were sold on the dark web.

Sometimes I see things like this and relate a little. Then I see the comments and wonder why more people don't have two emails.

One for random accounts/signup and one for serious accounts and human communication.

I wish you could separate the automated notification system emails from the living, breathing human sitting down to write you a message emails. Also, automated emails calling you by your name ("Hi ${name}!") should be banned.

[quick look at my gmail]... I currently have 781 unread messages in my inbox.

Zombo’s never left me 🫂

Not a fan of BONTO!’s forced arbitration clause though.

You don't hate email; you hate BAD email. Probably broadcast junk.

GOOD email is private Bank statements over a provably secure e2e transport marked clearly for filters (with a JSON section for import automatically; am I right?). It's "here is a new copy of the plans." It's "Dear Aunt Helen."

Every now and then, although I know and support the alternate position for reasons I think have been shown as obvious, repeatedly, I sometimes think a 1¢ postage for unsolicited mail - okay, make it a buck - would be okay... IFF that could be figured so the recipient would be assured of getting half. Make it cost; make it pay.

No no, hear me out. Unpaid transit charges for unsolicited bulk email by the person owning the domain is now inter-region or international wire fraud, and the people making a habit of it will build up enough that they'll warrant action. Ergo, make it financial and maybe we'll see cops raiding scam shops.

That's the dream anyway....

I believe emails should not be used. There are or should be better alternatives. Account creation should be handled by passkeys.

Email is legacy. Insecure and content is just a webpage...
