So if you're using Proton thinking it's "privacy-focused", it turns out they're giving data to the Feebs now. https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/
Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester

Thats a messaging app
Email unfortunately is still needed for too many services. Unless this also supports a mail server? @adrienne

@smolbrain @werawelt it sounds like if you're not paying them with a credit card there's nothing they can give up on you, at the very least. pay them in cash, i guess?

@smolbrain @werawelt i don't know anything about Posteo but apparently they might be good? https://furry.engineer/@ysegrim/116181161858800673

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] While Posteo.de stores your payment details (they have to), they do not connect it to your account. The only information connected to your account is _that_ you paid. Meaning, while they already straight out reject a third of their requests for formal incorrectness (and file complaints), last year they never provided any user/payment data because they straight up do not store it. https://posteo.de/en/site/transparency_report
