Meanwhile:
No, I don't like e-mails, they're all spam, I only have an account to register other accounts. Why can't we continue our chat here on Natziapp (formerly known as Chatter)? Yes, I know, it's full of nazis, and stuff, but if we convince him hard enough, he could change for the better.
I actually love email. It's great that we have a standard and open protocol for sending and receving virtual mail. Without email we would be now probably using some closed-source proprierary and not interoperable solution witch locks you in. I'm glad it didn't happen.
This memey post isn't about Email as a concept, it's about the state of commercial communication companies and the way we access having email.
I will fight anyone who disagrees with the fact that email is the best protocol ever invented. It is perfect. Arbitrary text, file attachments, e2ee with gpg. It has zero downsides for most things. It's just been destroyed by corpos :/
I as well like email, it just has to be managed. Then you threw in the alternative involved a solution with a witch locking me in, and I'm intrigued to know more.
Click here to unsubscribe. Great; it will take 4-10 days. It never unsubscribes.
Whenever a company does that, I never shop there again
If in EU: make a GDPR complaint. Unsubscribing should be instant and no more difficult than signing up
Can I use a VPN to permanently pretend I'm in the EU?
As far as most websites are concerned, yeah totally
BONTO! sucked anyhow. BONMO~ is the FOSS replacement that does everything better.
They're looking for devs btw, which is why it's been so long without an update or bug fixes.

BONMO~'s Kickstarter campaign turned out to be a scam, no refunds for existing investors, sowwy.
Anyway, now that the only alternative to BONTO! is dead, BONTO! merged with [weirdly popular social media company that you never paid attention to] and BONTO! is offering new subscription plans that give great deals if you pay for three years ahead of time for the low, low price of $450. Also, where will BONTO! be in 3 years? ¯\__(ツ)_/¯

You don' hate email; you hate capitalism.
Yeah, use disposable mail adresses for registering
I love how almost every societal complaint or struggle can be traced back to the idea that there are a small number of people trying to take the money from a large number of other people for as unfair of an exchange as physically possible.
BONTO! has had a security breach. Your data has been stolen. We're sorry.
In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances
Your privacy is very important to BONTO! Please give us permission to share your data with the following 465 companies

Those are amateur numbers. No wonder BONTO is getting aquired and restructured. They need to get those privacy invasion numbers up!

Have you ever gotten an email for a breach from the company that leaked your personal data? Haveibeenpwned.com is how I found out about my breaches.
I'm so happy this site is still running.
It's an enduring artifact of when the Internet was still fun.
