Yes, my whole thing is very, very privacy-focused. I don’t use Gmail. I run my own mail servers. I run my own web servers. I have always done that because I just don’t trust these companies who are reading all of your messages, and they’re doing it to harvest your data and market to you. I want myself to be private. I’m an individual. I think that lent quite a bit to the way that I thought about IceBlock.
Heck yeah, our self-hosted hero!

All that and then he puts it on a centralized store that tracks all its users lmao. Is this guy dumb or naive? Apple knows where he lives, so he has literally zero real protection against law enforcement.

Accessibility to a service is just as important as continuity of service.

Mate, everyone knows who he is. His wife was fired from her federal job over this. He gave an interview with his real name. The feds can know where basically anyone is if they want to. If taco ordered the secret service to carry out an assassination, very little could be practically done to stop them. No one has real protection against law enforcement. Right now they’re still staying within lines in a half-assed manner so they don’t get pushback from stale liberals and (sometimes) antiauthoritarian snowflake regressives.

Now is IceBlock decentralized? His ISP can cutoff his email servers, he’s not that safe. But I do admire this guy. Email servers are hard

Multiple servers with fallback. Either a proper failover setup, or just use DNS.

Yes, I’m sure his ISP account is in his own name.
