Email is a relict of a bygone era and needs to die. It's not designed for the modern Internet, and no patching like DKIM and DMARC can fix that.
Do share the alternative with us, that's universally supported and not owned by a corporation.
Already responded to someone else asking here.
So the article is about unwarranted 12 hour delays and your solution is to use a federated platform where delays are built into the system between server syncs? The fact that people cant see your other post yet because their local servers have not synced your post to this thread should be the first sign that this might not be a good solution to this email problem...
Email also is a federated platform that syncs. It's just a matter of getting this working, it's a solved problem on a conceptual level.
For example, all mail servers come with an outbound queue for mails to retry for at least a day until the mail goes through. Lemmy simply discards the message after a single try. This is a result of being beta-level software that just hasn't been fully finished yet.
How much effort is it to link to that reply or copypaste the response?
I have no idea how to link comments in a Lemmy/kbin-compatible way across instances, sorry. https://feddit.de/comment/606782
Copy-pasting is bad, because then the discussion is spread among three different threads.
Fair point, thanks for the link!
8:43 A.M. and already this is the dumbest thing I'll read all day.
That's the first time I've heard anyone says that. What would replace it?
