Just opening discussion, haha!

I mean if non-proton conversation isn’t allowed, I’m just comparing, haha lol!

Okay seriously though.

The three services I’m exploring are:

  • Email (with email aliases)
  • VPN
  • Cloud Storage
  • Avid Amoeba@lemmy.ca

    I think that, if we want something fash-resistant we probably need something by a worker co-op where the whole org has to be fash to be a problem. I’m not aware of such services. A non-profit like Proton is next on the list. I’m not aware of another non-profit email provider. Tuta seems interesting but they’re for-profit.

    Also any of those should be based somewhere in Europe since the US regulatory regime is weak and about to get weaker. Email isn’t end-to-end encrypted so its privacy depends on the regulatory regime of the provider.

          They tried to though. Dessalines was trying to hard code a very egregious set of censored “hate” words into the Lemmy back end for a while before the (still tiny) community threw a huge shit fit about it.

            Yea, that isn’t gonna fly in modern day Lemmy. I’m sure there are non-tankie programmers that are willing to work on a fork, that’d definitely splinter Lemmy into 2 different “fediverses”, one under the tankie branch, one under the new non-tankie fork. I don’t think the devs want that. They seem to be very anti-corporate, and such a move that would splinter the Lemmy community would only benefit big tech.
