A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Email is still great for DMs if you only use it for talking to individuals, and not to sign up to things (lemmy.world)

I mean, your connection to your email provider is encrypted (I hope!) - probably with TLS

Your email provider will communicate with the receivers email server over an encrypted connection (probably TLS again)

Your recipient connects to their provider over a secure connection too!

Yes, your email companies can read it, but that is the case with lots of IM providers too.....

Why would u not use an e2e encrypted im service. Thats the bare minimum.
