soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
La nuova integrazione tra #ProtonMail e #Gmail consente di leggere e inviare email da un unico spazio, con maggiore attenzione alla privacy e meno dipendenza dai servizi Google. #Privacy #Email #Tecnologia #Linux

After careful evaluation I decided #Tuta is superior to #Proton for #email #security and #privacy. But they're blocking free signups over #Tor and #VPN, and for paid accounts they require payment via #PayPal or #CreditCard. That makes them essentially useless from a privacy standpoint, because there's no way to create an account that's not tied to your physical identity. What gives, @Tutanota?
Went into cryptography rabbit hole last night & now have set up email clients to sign outgoing messages 😄

Proton Mail adds Gmail sync & send: users can connect Gmail via Easy Switch to read/send Gmail inside Proton, import recent messages, strip trackers/ads, and enable end-to-end encryption between Proton users.

Ok folks, what's the closest thing to an #email but entirely #E2EE like signal.
Surely I'm not the only one thinking of it? Others would have thought of something before me right?
And no, protonmail/tuta/whatever doesn't count.
I mean, there's so much work on decentralized E2EE, #matrix is even somewhat functioning in this matter (leaving cryptographic security aside, let's just use libsignal), then how is this not a thing no matter how far and wide I look for it?
Again, traditional email + #PGP is not a solution. It's been looked down upon by every practically every cryptographer.

Question to you.
What is a good email solution for non-profits/community groups in the United States?
Base Requirements:
- Emails that use our domain name.
- Allows individual email accounts for users (roughly 20 to 50).
- Allows email aliases / groups to where emailing one email delivers to multiple users (eg info@domain.ex goes to three specific people or foodrescue@domain.ex goes to those working on the food rescue side, etc)
Ideal requirements:
- Cheap or free
- Privacy / security oriented
- Managed (I don't like the idea of hosting our own email server for example)
Those ideal requirements have some contradiction in it, of course.
So high level, I've looked into:
- Google
- Microsoft
- Proton Mail
- Tutanota
- Mailbox org
- Startmail
Here is the quick overview for those:
Google:
- https(slash)www.google(dot)com/nonprofits/offerings/workspace/#!#workspace-pricing
- Cost: Free
- Con: They actively scan and read all emails. So we become the product.
- Pro: They are used by many non-profits and are well liked from a usability standpoint
Microsoft:
- https(slash)www.microsoft(dot)com/en-us/microsoft-365/business/nonprofit-plans-and-pricing
- Cost: $5.50 per user
- Con: They actively scan and read all emails
- Pro: They have a more robust app offering.
(I don't think we need this level of IT for our group though)
Proton Mail for Non-Profits:
- https://proton.me/business/plans#plans
- Cost: 20% off Business Costs. If we just went with email, it'd be about $5.60 per user per month
- Pro: They are private and secure and can't read emails
- Con: Much less app support but we really just need email for this
Tutanota does not offer non-profit discounts within the US - So it's a similar offering as Proton Mail for about three dollars more per month.
Startmail is also similar in price point and features as Proton and Tutanota
Mailbox(dot)org may be ideal in this space as it's only $1 per user per month. I have to check and see if we can use a custom domain, etc.
Google is free... which matters. You are the product. Also folks know it - the UI is good. Making a cost benefit analysis here, I have to bring up the "we don't have anything to hide" sort of thing. As an individual, that doesn't fly - right. But as a community group / potential non-profit, we are already transparent. None of our communications contain sensitive information. And we have a lot of folks coming in and out as it is.
So, what would the threat scenario around an org using Google for email be?
Any other ideas?
Honestly over the year, i tested many app for chat, and one of them i unfairely refused to test, because it was a "ridiculous idea", fast forward a years, and it's now my default app, and the most stable one i had (even more stable than the Liar Signal).
This app is @delta
Please Try it, use it as much as possible, and go out the Signal's LIAR that try to maintain you in the GAFAM server ecosystem by telling it's impossible to run a chat otherwise Delta is the living proof they lied.

"... If I sold Google some data cables, and months later sent them an email “btw in 5 business days your cables will start sending all the data going through them to me, even though you specifically told me not to enable this feature, unless you re-disable it”, I would go to jail for hacking."It is [evil hat] hacking, and it is a crime. The government is run by criminals who want Google spying on their behalf, so they allow this surveillance crime spree to continue.

Someone finally made a privacy email that doesn't look like a government database from 1998.
https://qrypty.com — modern clean interface, instant signup (10 seconds, I counted), works great on phone. No forms, no phone number, no identity check.
Just beautiful, fast, anonymous email.
Boost if you think privacy tools should also have good design
#design #privacy #email #ui #ux #minimal #tech #apps #anonymous #boost
Timed myself: 9 seconds to create a fully working anonymous email.
https://qrypty.com — the UI is clean and modern, works perfectly on mobile, and asks for zero personal info. No phone, no verification, nothing.
I've never said "I enjoy checking email" before but here we are.
Please boost — more people need to know email can be beautiful AND private
#email #privacy #design #ui #mobile #aesthetic #tech #fast #boost #share
I don't usually share websites but this one got me. https://qrypty.com — anonymous email with genuinely beautiful design. Clean futuristic UI, smooth animations, feels like a premium app not some sketchy privacy tool from 2005.
Registration took me 10 seconds flat. No phone, no name, just a username and you're in.
Boost this for people who want privacy without ugly interfaces

You know what will be a great idea for #email? If you could put #PGP fingerprints in a mailto link.
Then you could just click on the link on someone's website and it would automatically encrypt the message.
And it's easier to trust the PGP key.
