If only they could develop a federated short message system.

Messenger/WhatsApp/slack messaging style but federated like email

Matrix is one example of such a system.

check out deltachat, it's an email client with an interface like an instant messaging app

[-] BangCrash@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

Ideally something alongside email but not email.

[-] Vlado@feddit.org 5 points 6 months ago

Matrix is pretty much that already.

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.

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.
