I’m not going to sit here and pretend like the current #fediverse without Threads is “perfect” for #privacy … But just look at the data #threads collects.

Skiff upgrades Pro Plan and rebuilds Mailbox import feature.

Skiff pro gives 200GB storage, 3 custom domains, 15 aliases.

Mail import features allows importing from #gmail and #outlook, and takes any mbox or .eml file for more universal email importing.

Looks like Skiff has launched an additional pricing tier: Essentials

$3 a month for 15GB storage, 1 GB per file upload, 1 custom domain + what's in free.

Happy to see more pricing options for users!

Apple Hit With Class Action Over Tracking of Mobile App Activity

Apple Inc. records users’ private activity on mobile applications without their consent and despite its privacy assurances in violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act, a new proposed federal class action alleged.
