Seriously. Let’s start a war on google.

Make sure you get rid of your Gmail account ;)

I was about to switch to Proton until the Proton CEO outed himself as a Trumper.

Wait really?

Fuck… I thought they were becoming a good non-profit.

I run my own email server since August and I'm never going back. I use the mailinabox.email open source software stack.

[–] floofloof 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have heard that it can be difficult to get emails sent from a self-hosted server accepted by the big email providers. Have you experienced any difficulty with this? And how is spam filtering?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I haven't had deliverability issues. Might be for a number of reasons:

  • mailinabox does a huge amount of modern email security
  • I've owned my domain for many years
  • Contabo probably has fewer cases of reused IP addresses than the big cloud providers

I don't get spam, but that might be because anything that might generate spam I use Gmail for. Mailinabox includes a number of spam reduction systems, too.

Well, I don’t recall that but he did express support for Gail Slater, a nominee by former President Donald Trump for a position in the Department of Justice antitrust division.

However, I may just not possess this information. I don’t not trust you, but is there something specific you can link to? Or do you recall where you heard that?

People are putting a spin on this, but Proton has explained that it considers the Republicans more likely to tackle "Big Tech abuses" until the Democratic Party sheds its corporatists. So on this issue the company seems to officially support the Republicans. People are understandably skeptical and think that, given the Republicans' past record and the many other awful things they promise to do under Trump, this is a misjudgement by Proton:

Here's the original post by the CEO:

Gross. No more proton for me.

Pretty recent on twitter, last couple weeks. I understand missing it given how much of a busy year it's already been.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Using twitter is providing financial support to Nazis. I would not have seen that, because supporting Nazis isn’t worth it.

Either way there is Tuta, which isn’t as sleek as Proton, but has a pretty good name in the privacy world afaik. They have desktop and mobile apps available.

Edit: someone supplied it.

Do you still have an account?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Nope, never really used it in the first place tbh

Not a war, but everyday guerrilla is fun, that has not to be the goal of my life, just something that makes me feel better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But if it doesn’t result in a bunch wrong info on google, then it was in vain. :(

If they will rename the gulf in my language too, I'll start. I hope I'll inspire others
