A few days ago, the U.S. government sanctioned A/I for supporting “extreme far-left antifa terrorists”. If you didn’t know, A/I is an antifascist and anticapitalist group based in Italy, and they host a lot of services (like email, website hosting, etc.) run through donations. Their policy states that they are against racism, sexism, militarism, homophobia, and transphobia, and you have to agree to those principles to use their services. Their website and mailing server has been taken down, and unfortunately, that also means my email no longer works. It’s kind of insane how quickly the American government can take down internet services they don’t like. A/I has denied all of the allegations by the Trump admin, and rightfully so, they’re just a digital services provider who respect your privacy and are against fascism and bigotry.

I still need to use email, so what’s a good alternative email provider that doesn’t profit off of my data? I have used Disroot in the past and had good experiences with their services, so they are currently my fallback. I have ruled out Proton and Tuta, as neither support IMAP properly.

    Fascism is the desire for a totalitarian state where (in general) the population must put the state first above everything. Let’s see here:

    I want to create a totalitarian regime ruled by complete degenerated person and I’m actively pursuing my goals.

    Well, that sounds pretty fascist to me. Did you mix the two words up?

        A/I is not calling for the death of any people group, and they are against racism and bigotry of all forms.

        Yes, giving yourself a label doesn’t necessarily mean it’s correct. North Korea calla itself a Democratic People’s Republic, when in reality it’s closer to a dictatorial monarchy mixed with bits of Marxism. But if we disregarded all labels that could be misused, we would have none at all!

        Also, what the hell man, calling for the death of all Indians as an “example” is not a good look. It doesn’t bode well for whar you actually believe in if you think this is a reasonable example to bring up.
