Yea, I checked worldnews today: there are these bot-like irrelevant comments on major subs, small subs abandoned...askhistorians is a little slow...maybe people are just on holiday having fun and such :D, is instagram full of holiday bragging?

And still email is not dead yet! I hope it's starting to become clear to people that protocols last much longer than platforms, even if platforms look like they can test new things faster.

I don't know about that, email is still great at what it does. It's less that it died and more that people moved on to more real-time communication that fit their needs better, with email still being used for what it is actually good for.
