One of my fav communities right now, hobbydrama is some of the best drama

It’s very effective at building the habit and practice of running. I am glad I did it and would love to help others on their “journey”

I like email the way it is and believe it functions as most people desire.

Everything you mention already exists for email (ie discussion groups exist, encryption exists, etc…)

The key thing is that it works now and you can easily host your own mail server to achieve whatever you desire feature wise

Mainly when I’m running as it keeps me more mindful of my pace/effort and while commuting to dull the pain.
