I really like email. Something about its free as in freedom nature/protocol fills me up with joy as I fire up my email clients! It's just nice and warm compared to all the corpo bullshit messengers. Sadly, Google and Microsoft are trying their best to lock down email. But I believe it's gonna outlast their shenanigans, hopefully. Meanwhile, I have my trusty local email clients to keep me company
