I like how the idea of Google shutting down Gmail isn't even far-fetched, it's just something everybody can get behind. Google will shut it down one day

I think Gmail, chat, and maybe calendar are unlikely to be discontinued because they're really heavily used internally.

Chat? It's on its 7th iteration or something. That's definitely not a safe feature.

Voice, chat, messages(?), hangouts, not named and built into Gmail, what am I missing?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but it's not crazy ridiculous that people wouldn't consider it.

[–] palebluethought@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Of course it is. People have really fixated on this "Google kills products" meme way, way beyond reality

Gmail is load-bearing software for, like, Western civilization at this point

Which chat? There's been too many shut down.

Google also presumably also gets soooooo much information for targeted ads from mining people's email

[–] fusio@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

nah.. some national/international entity would step in. would be absurd to lose the Gmail accounts
