I'll be sticking with Protonmail, personally

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I tried switching to Proton. They took my money somehow (I think I was looking over the paid options and then got distracted and auto filled. Basically I wasn't paying attention) and then when I noticed on my cc bill I contacted them to say 'hey, I didn't mean to pay for all these features I don't need and am not using. Can I please have a refund?" They were like "lol it's been a month and 2 days so no, enjoy your 17 email addresses and some other crap you aren't using and don't need.".

Still looking for an alternative to Google but it isn't going to be Proton.

The bar is pretty low, but yeah. At least Google provides a pretty good email service. I can't have the same confidence in a Musk product.

finally we get to answer the question: can emails set on fire?

It's self-destruct and it's a feature!

Wonder what “free speech absolutist” freedoms he’s going to apply to that service.

I've never been more satisfied hosting my own email than after reading this.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He probably started to become active in politics so he can create the UXA at some point.
