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

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…

Create post

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
