Ahh yes of course, because you can't legally backdoor the mail?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Steaming letters open is a thing. More work though.
Another company (Dao) will deliver mail instead.
This is really sad ... I still send letters, sometimes it's nice to get a post card or letter in the mail. 😔
Announcing the decision earlier this year to stop delivering letters, PostNord, formed in 2009 in a merger of the Swedish and Danish postal services, said it would cut 1,500 jobs in Denmark and remove 1,500 red postboxes amid the “increasing digitalisation” of Danish society.
I thought this was decided when the merger happened in 2009. This has been known in Sweden since right after the merger happened and it completely fucked our old postal service.
This doesn't sound good, what tf do ya'll do with your Christmas cards
Christmas cards aren't really a thing in Denmark. Like we don't ever get physical mail. Perhaps one letter once a month or something? Everything goes through our digital mail or email
Yeah, here in Norway I've gotten a total of 2 letters in the mail this year. Both of which were from the government with voting information.
If there was no election this year, I wouldn't have gotten a single physical letter.
Wait, you guys don't get junk mail? I got like a birthday card from my mom, but I get like 3-5 advertisements in the mail everyday
My mailbox is in the entry of my building, which is locked so only the actual mail carriers have access. They have a key to get into the building to deliver mail and parcels.
I've got a sticker that says "no unadressed mail" which they respect, so if it's something that isn't addressed to me by name, its not put in my mailbox. (some exceptions like public notices, but those are years between)
What a great username you have. Given that you're in Norway, are you related to this guy?
I could never even dream of being related to someone as awesome as Apetor.
Rest in peace, absolute legend.
Amen, brother (or sister)
I always assumed one day the separate mail and parcel services would become one. In my mind letters would be delivered as a parcel, so driven to your door instead of a service that passes every door.
Though another comment says in this case another company will be picking up the service.
You'll get a link to some AI slop instead.
"This could have been and email" I guess.
There's still mail service happening, but it's going to get ever more expensive to use analog.
.. you had one job ..
It even says in the description of the post here on Lemmy that they concentrate on parcels. So, no, they didn't have one job, they had at least two.
