    I’m in a quest to find a good email provider that doesn’t ask for a cellphone or another email address while creating an account, cock.li used to do this but now it’s “getting back on its feet”

      There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that’s probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.

      Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).

            The CEO made a remark about Trump, and used his corporate account for it.

            If I recall correctly (no press statement was made by Proton), it was a personal remark on a corporate account, which he was quick to allow anyone to do. It also didn’t support Trump as a whole, just a remark Orangeman made about getting small business a level playing field (which I totally trust from an olicharch).

            I’m still sticking with Proton for the foreseeable future, as its privacy awareness and advocacy is still a core business value.

              Then he tried to walk it back by gaslighting.

              “I wasn’t being political” said the man who was clearly being political.
