    Oh so you use the argument of authority now. Great.

    I’ll check your thing. I would have enjoyed if you could have linked it because I’m a young stupid guy with a short attention span, but fine.

    If you actually checked my profile you could’ve found out I’m pretty deep into Monero, and that’s pretty much what got me into Lemmy. Don’t make assumptions without knowing people.

    I checked this page https://digdeeper.club/articles/email.xhtml#disroot and surprise surprise, no real arguments apart from quoting stuff from disroot’s website. Disroot has a worse privacy policy than Proton, stores email unencrypted. You’re basically trusting Disroot not to do harmful things, which is a red flag when you could recommend services that do things properly.

    If that’s the best source you have, I seriously doubt your knowledge.

    I guess it’s now time for my ban

      I do not think you understand how email even works, do you? It is funny you trust Proton, even though they disallow logging in without their app or JavaScript stuffed web UI. Also, how are you verifying Proton’s encryption keys on their end? It tells a lot about your level of knowledge, honestly. You do not even understand how email or encryption works, yet you have the balls to claim Disroot is worse than Proton. Go play Roblox, kid. Reddit seems to be at your level. If you PGP your messages/emails on your own, or use OMEMO or similarly good algorithm with full key ownership, only then is encryption verifiable and valid. People like you just like to validate shit like Proton snitching.

      Also what about authority? My authority is formed from sheer hard work done without taking a single donation. I write guides for privacy and anonymity and built a community through this expertise. And unlike a lot of agenda based nonsense and worthless SEO filler disguised as guides, I offer honest and good solutions. And I did skim your profile, and found nothing notable other than usage of XMR. Do you know what is the worst criticism about me behind my back? I am paranoid. Go figure.

        You can’t encrypt received unencrypted mail (except if you use POP but it’s not an option if you have multiple devices), but you’re right about one thing, it’s that we can’t trust that proton doesn’t store the encryption keys. Although it is still safer to go with them because if they did, they would either have given the mails to the govs, exposing them (which didn’t happen), or they just wouldn’t hand out your mails, which is better than nothing.

        You really have a problem with people. You can only attack personally or throw baseless insults.

        I talked a lot about XMR, but also talk about session, Firefox and its privacy, file sharing like torrents, pirated stuff, VPNs… and I haven’t been very active on lemmy. But I don’t see how that gives you any more power in that conversation, knowing how bad you handled it.

        You’re just saying the same thing over and over while not understanding that what you propose is no different (or even worse), and that your pseudo arguments are empty and invalid. Just stop.

          You have trouble reading the room and what you are even saying. Do you not realise there are now multiple instances where Proton has snitched on activists? Riseup, Disroot and others have not. They do not store logs, wipe everything every day or week and are not marketing nonsense to people.

          I have a problem with delusional people who cannot understand things, but are ready to argue about anything to win the internet debate at all costs. Yes I am aggressive about it, because the privacy community is a bunch of close minded self-proclaimed experts with nothing to show for it. I have seen this ad nauseam for years upon years now.

          The fact that you really believe in the nonsense that Proton is better than something activists use with a lot of proven trust is sheer fucking insanity. On top of it, you trust the “well established” liars more than whatever you assume the other people or endeavours are. There is very less room to talk through with folks like you, who already are deep into the trench and refuse the handed down rope. I trust Proton barely more than Gmail or Outlook in that it does not scan my emails for ad/revenue purposes. If you think they have encryption, you are a joke.
