i’m sorry if this isn’t linux related but recently i’ve been struggling with some stuff, so i usually talk to my friends on matrix (used to actually!!), i decided to leave matrix and talk to them on email (because email always works and is a much calmer version of instant messenger i think so). but now i think i would like to go back to matrix, i can only choose one, sorry, please tell me which one… oh and i’d be using nheko of course because my debian-based xfce distro runs kind of slowly on my 2006 toshiba

      Comon attitude among older techs. I imagine its a bit like gen z on phones.

      Messaging seems immediate and demanding where as email seems to give the recipient a answer when you have time feel.

      Its about not growing up with IM while email was treated like an extention to paper memo systems many work environments already used. More so as the system is older then the Internet. So many office networks had inter office email In the early 80s. And inter offfice memo systems like a little postal system were common in big companies for decades before that.
