Just opening discussion, haha!

I mean if non-proton conversation isn't allowed, I'm just comparing, haha lol!

Okay seriously though.

The three services I'm exploring are:

  • Email (with email aliases)
  • VPN
  • Cloud Storage

I think that, if we want something fash-resistant we probably need something by a worker co-op where the whole org has to be fash to be a problem. I'm not aware of such services. A non-profit like Proton is next on the list. I'm not aware of another non-profit email provider. Tuta seems interesting but they're for-profit.

Also any of those should be based somewhere in Europe since the US regulatory regime is weak and about to get weaker. Email isn't end-to-end encrypted so its privacy depends on the regulatory regime of the provider.

It’s times like this that make me thankful Lemmy is written by a bunch of tankies, even if they’ve banned me.

Honesly, Lemmy Dev's political opinion is irrelevent, thet don't control anything outside of lemmygrad and lemmy.ml

They tried to though. Dessalines was trying to hard code a very egregious set of censored "hate" words into the Lemmy back end for a while before the (still tiny) community threw a huge shit fit about it.

If Dessalines doesn't like hate speech, why is his second in command doing it?

Yea, that isn't gonna fly in modern day Lemmy. I'm sure there are non-tankie programmers that are willing to work on a fork, that'd definitely splinter Lemmy into 2 different "fediverses", one under the tankie branch, one under the new non-tankie fork. I don't think the devs want that. They seem to be very anti-corporate, and such a move that would splinter the Lemmy community would only benefit big tech.
