    Nah this xkcd really doesnt apply here. If you can can see and have at least the intelligence of a 6 year old then you can see that something is different about email compared to whatsapp or signal. With even the most basic pattern recognition skills you will find that everyone you know uses different apps, sites and addresses. Compare this to normal messengers where literally everyone will have the exact same app, interface and way to contact people.

      Maybe. I have no 6-year-olds around to ask. I have noticed that people often have misconceptions that I can’t even fathom because I have grown up in a completely different tech environment. For me, it has not worked to make assumptions.
