  What do you consider to be a good privacy focused email solution that allows anonymity?

  • helenslunch@feddit.nl ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They’re talking out their bum. It’s as private as any email service can be.

      important to emphasize here that email is inherently not very private. Proton is one of the best email providers for privacy, but for this gs you really need to be private (eg organizing protests in less-than-friendly countries) you shouldn’t use email at all.

        Which is precisely why I said “as any email service can be”.

        Yep. Find me a service provider that risks being arrested to deny lawful demands. I’ll wait.

        If you look at what data they handed over you’ll realize this is a positive thing. You have verifiable proof that the contents of your mails is private, and you’re calling it a negative thing that they have your IP address??

        Do you have articles showing Tutanota refusing to do the same?

    Try Tuta Mail

      Germany vs Switzerland eh?

    Is addy.io any good? I’ve poked around a bit but not investigated deeply

    source

    • micka190@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      As a paying customer, it’s good if you want a burner email address that forwards to your actual email address. Not sure if they’re offering full blown mailing servers now, though. Pretty much does what I need it to do, personally.

        That’s basically all I want as a mail edge

    cock.li

      I am not clicking that.

      • uranibaba@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I clicked for you. From the website:

        Cock.li is your go-to solution for professional E-mail and XMPP addresses. Since 2013 cock.li has provided stable E-mail services to an ever-increasing number of users. Cock.li allows registration and usage using Tor and other privacy services (proxies, VPNs) and thanks to continued funding by its users is certain to stay free forever.

  These lists are used by platforms to try and cut down on spam/bot account signups. This isn’t a thing done for signups by the vast majority of platforms out there, but the API verification steps IS becoming more prevalent I suppose. I just got rejected for using a Protonmail domain to buy something outright on a very popular pet supplies platform the other day, but…eh.

    They’ll just lose my business and get a stern customer support email then. I don’t do business with companies that exclude Proton/Tutanota/Skiff emails.

    • just_another_person@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Bro… You’re on Lemmy. What business?

      source

      • kurwa@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yes, Lemmy users literally never spend any money, not once ever.

  Someone working at Proton has commented on the issue, the list maintainer wanted to take the discussion with proton private so we have only a few posts from them.

  They’re not the maintainer.

  source

  • sir_reginald@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I say that below

    Edit: I assumed the person that posted the email list was a maintainer, but they don’t seem to have a “contributor” or “owner” badge

    source
• _number8_@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  It’s very clear how the list maintainer opposes anonymity in the internet in any form,

  why would anyone ever be like this?

  source

  • Rin@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Maybe a fed, corpo or authoritarian

    source

    • pivot_root@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I was thinking the same. Would be mighty convenient for them if people had to switch to sellout mail providers because the alternatives are all blocked.

      source
  • db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    This is not the list maintainer. Just a rando who opened a request
