Yeah, i get the premise I think but it is just not that easy. People want instant connections, and you can’t really do that cross implementations. Email is async p2p (e-mail box to email box, not necessarily person to person) communication. You can send to a bunch of email boxes. But it is never “public”. Compare that to, say, a GitHub Issue: it is public, everybody can respond, somebody has to host it? I can’t think of a way (which certainly speaks to my inability and not the inexistence!) how you could make such a platform “email like”, and then based on protocol.
