gollark: If the postal system was a messaging service, I would not rate it highly.
gollark: Nonzero cost, delays, *writing* on physical paper (or printing, even), not much security, no anonymous messaging. It's just bad.
gollark: It seems strictly worse unless you're sending physical objects.
gollark: It's probably more convenient than carrying around multiple things as long as your phone is consistently available.
gollark: I see.
