Protect your privacy in the digital world

Welcome! This is a community for all those who are interested in protecting their privacy.

Rules

This includes the instance rules of dbzer0, which can be tl;dr'd to: this is a libertarian socialist space, no right wing nutjobs or tankies are allowed. As for the community rules:

  1. Be nice
  2. No bigotry/prejudice
  3. No tankies/right wingers
  4. Don't promote proprietary software
  5. Stay on topic
  6. No crypto
  7. Don't be a smartass and try to game the system, we'll know if you're breaking the rules when we see it!
  8. If you post news exclusive to a country please name it. (This isn't a bannable rule, but just a recommendation :) )

Found this the other day while looking alternatives to Proton.

Posteo seems like a good alternative. The linked thread shows some concerns about their privacy, but what is surprising is that they weren't recommended by PrivacyGuides because

The fact of the matter is that we have 4 excellent mailbox providers who can meet all of the requirements we’re looking for.

Well, I just had a look, they removed one as there are only three, and now as people want to avoid Proton, that leaves Tuta and Mailbox.org as alternatives: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/

So maybe they should add Posteo back? Anyway, that doesn't matter that much, I just wanted to share as people might be looking for alternative for Proton

I've been using Posteo for a few years now with no issue.

What's their selling point?
