        If only they could develop a federated short message system.

        Messenger/WhatsApp/slack messaging style but federated like email

          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.

            Email still has it’s place. So changing the interface will likely make email less useable.

            Ideally something alongside email but not email.

      Tell me you have no meaningful impact on the world without telling me you have no meaningful impact on the world.

      You are like those people that always say “Do people still use INPUT SOMETHING”. Do you text or call only? What about your work? you call or send a text instead of email ? maybe drop of some files instead of emailing them? I have so many questions.
