Gregory's ServerYeah there's definitely a lot of benefit to IRC/Slack/whathaveyou that has nothing to do with features compared to e-mail and more to do with "this bucket of things i care about is HERE". But also:
- Zulip lets you move messages between topics, not so possible in e-mail
- someone can join a channel or topic later, in e-mail they'd have to be forwarded the thread
- e-mail takes more attention and discipline to quote only relevant parts, and customs differ by 5+ people.
@mlncn @gooba42 Mixing chats with long-form isn't a good idea IMHO.
There should be chat and then if there's long form conversation that looks and acts like a letter there's email or any form
that you think is more modern.
I don't think the medium email has anything to do with keeping etiquette or posting styles. You can always quote more than needed.
