Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

At least 100k.

I have an email account I've been using exclusively for signing up to various services for almost 30 years now. About 50 messages per day make it to the inbox, about 800 per day are added to the spam folder, god only knows how many get sent to the void. None of them get read ever, the storage limit is 25GB... so I'm guessing significantly north of 100,000 unread emails.

The email account that I use for actual communication and that I give out only to real people and even that sparingly has no unread messages and one response draft. It's easy to keep up when you get about 5 emails per month of which maybe 3 require a response.
