@notwhatwethink Really trying to get people off of these systems by adopting #ElementMatrix #fediverse #lemmy #pixelfed #startmail and such. WhatsApp is so embedded in this part of the world, it can be hard for people to download another app. Do it anyway. You do not ever have to use the #oligarch #enshittified version of the internet. We can all just stop going to the ai websites, apps and oligarch magapedo bro tech. I mean right? We can do better. #NOLIGARCHY #resist
If you believe that #tuta #fastmail or #startmail are immune from court orders, you are sorely mistaken. #proton #protonmail giving over payment and/or metadata under a court order is not a violation of their privacy policy, and is required by Swiss law. That also doesn’t mean they failed to still provided privacy. The content that was intended to be private is still encrypted and private as long as the password and #encryption keys remain unknown. 1/3
#askFedi who to use instead of gmail. I have a couple of domain names that I like using for family email. For the longest time I have been using a grandfathered google setup, but I'm feeling the call to leave them. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations. I realize there will be cost, but I'm also not a business and know that there is minimal benefit to my family in this. I've considered #tuta #protonMail #startMail and even #fastmail but feel like they all have negatives.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Google just activated Gemini without asking you.

After you recover from the complete shock and horror of this travesty you might be asking, how do I stop & prevent such an egregious & unwanted action??

Leave Gmail.
It’s really not that difficult.

There are plenty of privacy-respecting email alternatives!

I’m looking at #Startmail and #Fastmail. Trying to decide between them. Anyone able to advise on either or both? What’s the #accessibility like? #tech
Hey @startmail #Startmail
Thank you for the great services you provide!
I have a question though: why don't you have a dedicated mobile app? Maybe there is the answer somewhere but I haven't found it

#Startmail so far (and I like it):

  • possibility to send encrypted emails and emails protected by a password
  • unlimited aliases, no matter the plan you chose
  • possibility to program filters (example: if the email contains a certain word, it goes in the folder you chose for this kind of email)You can also find a comparison with Protonmail here

@WastedRadiance for what I see about #startmail I like it already. But they don't have apps for smartphones (we can pin the website on the smartphones screen though)

StartMail promotes making PGP encryption easy with just one click to encrypt email.

PGP is implemented server-side.
Server-side does not support end-to-end encryption.
