Luddite under protest

@invidious So, they contacted you by #email. It would have been really fun if your mail server had rejected connections from *.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com, as #Google’s mail server does the same to other people. Would have been #poeticJustice for sure.

Perhaps it would actually be useful to install a mail server that blanket rejects all connections from #CAGEMAFIA. Anyone doing anything that might gain attention from those orgs would be bounced.

Sure they could create a protonmail account just to reach you, but that’s the fun part. And it’s fair enough.
