What metadata?

Did we read the same post?

Tuta is very suspect

No clue what you’re talking about at the end with 2fa, though. it sounds very yelling at clouds.

I think it’s safe to say you went too fast (id always start with email forwarding and slowly moving services over in ascending order of importance, and make sure you avoid email 2fa if at all possible), but that does suck.

Tuta is definitely the least reputable of the privacy email services, I still don’t know why they get recommended. I’ve made and lost several accounts with them and treat them like a burner.

Protons a bit risky to me because they’re very aggressive about immediately locking you out if you don’t pay right away (in this case a trial expired, they charged me with no credit card on the account and threatened to block me from accessing my account if I didn’t pay up even though I immediately contacted them and tried to cancel as soon as I saw the trial expired). To me that level of inflexibility is, while maybe acceptable in Europe, not for me. I keep a few email addresses and as soon as the above happened immediately moved everything out of proton.

But really what I’d recommend is the more traditional services that you pay a small amount for. Posteo has been good for me for several years. I’ve read similar things about similar services which aren’t marketed as “privacy” services but instead they just aren’t Google.

i dont like the password manager random character youll never recall it nonsense

Wat?

There is 5+ more years to it than that

Their auth is better than the tool itself (last time I evaluated options which was maybe a year ago)

Except the person who wrote that, regardless of the actual issues with FUTO, cannot be trusted and is an unreliable source.

I really would encourage people to not treat that guy as a real source, but use it as a starting point for evaluating his sources, such as they are, on their own merits.

I understand what they were trying to go for, but they failed…not least because they explain that below the fold.

I’ve been forced into graphene due to calyx’ abandonment (and piss poor communication – “oh we didn’t realize people don’t regularly check our website in case the entire organization collapses overnight”) of it’s users this year, sadly. There just isn’t an alternative afaik.

On the graphene front I’ve personally been banned from their matrix chat on several accounts, none of which I actually used to post in their chat – they did a blanket ban of anyone in the calyxos channel. Not posted there, not posted in graphene, not having actually done anything, they blanket banned (he now denies this ever happened). Which honestly given how many times I went on to see him uncontrollably ranting at people was probably for the best. He and his most ardent supporters are a brigade of trolls.

Wow you’re very uninformed. May want to read up first.

It looks neat but what an absolutely stupid take from a keyboard author

Because it trusts you to write what you meant to write.

Butch if I didn’t let it correct me I’d have to actually mook st the keyboard and who the fuck wants to do thatm.

Phones are tiny and humans are clumsy. I absolutely never mean what I type, as you can see above.

I think that’s a pretty extreme bar, but I agree 2 YouTube discussions doesn’t make a fascist. At worst it makes a Gavin newsom or Joe Rogan.

In 2025 they do

Sorry but this person is treating grapheneos’ attacks on other groups as legitimate which throws the entire article into question. If they are happy to provide a platform for graphene’s founder’s paranoid conspiracies I can’t trust the content.

Seems clear there’s some questionable shit going on, but the only evidence presented is two YouTube videos which isn’t actually a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised based on this to hear there are deeper links, but this article is written by someone who thinks tweets and YouTube comments are evidence.

You need to define extreme operational security hoops.

For me, meeting a human in person and scanning a qr code or relying on an out of band scheme to do the same is a huge hoop.

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation

If there’s a permanent global fingerprint code isn’t that, well, the opposite of what the marketing says? Why is that not a unique user identifier?
