And they unironically say to join them on reddit.

[โ€“] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

My guess is that it's to reach the people on Reddit but not on anything else.

Of all the alternatives for gmail, why suggest another American solution? GMX (.com, .net, .de, .ch) has been around for 30 years, is fully German owned and hosted, and got both free and paid tiers just like mail.com.

Mail: Posteo is missing.

Also: Spotify is a bad joke.

[โ€“] phx@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not really big on not trust for Proton currently either.

Also: Kindle?

[โ€“] afronaut@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Whatโ€™s the reason they give mastodon the privacy badge, but donโ€™t give it to lemmy or signal?

[โ€“] Patch@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

The Fediverse is great, but privacy really isn't its thing. Anyone thinking the Fediverse is the privacy-focused choice has really misunderstood the whole pitch.

That's what happens when you half ass your work.

Spotify doesnโ€™t belong in there at or or in the left being transitioned to another.

I know many people feel entrapped by streaming services, but I switched to Bandcamp like 10 years ago and have never been happier with my music habits. I buy music I like on Bandcamp Friday and store it locally on my PC/phone. Load up and take away as needed.

Sure, it's a bit more effort to purposefully seek new music, but I love that process. Makes it a very deliberate listening experience.

I though Orion was free to use?

[โ€“] Sunny@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

It is.

Guessing OP marked it as paid thinking it was because Kagi search engine is paid. Same developers.

Wasn't Qwant secretly tracking you or something?
