    Stop posting protonmail you bozos, what kind of person only needs a single email tied to a phone number? Preposterous. I won’t even bother bringing up them putting some idiot climate activists in jail since I know “privacy” to redditors means posting about GDPR and turning your brain off

    Tuta is allegedly okay (we’re not international drug traffickers so we can pretend other (European) people’s computers are trustworthy bc we don’t need them to be usually) but it doesn’t have imap, so you just use it as the recovery email and then use some other generic free disposable privacy email w imap

      But proton doesn’t need a phone number? You can just do a captcha. I would never use an email that asks for a phone number. Or even a phone.

        They began demanding my phone number after I signed up without it. Not sure why. Was years ago tho

        That’s the same trick discord pulls btw it’s shady
