    They force you to give them your phone number. No phone number = not allowed to use Signal. Plus, Signal uses servers from Big Tech (just search for it on reddit).

    XMPP (mainly Snikket) is the best lightweight option.

    1. They have their own closed eco system
    2. They think money is key and throw large amounts at their consumers
    3. All source code is closed
    4. They are based in USA
    5. They love AI

    Like what another person said, hate is a strong word. But when it comes to Big Tech, I’m all for the word.

    Might have missed adding something to the list. Will add more if I have.









  • Different people, different taste.

    I love FairEmail because of its “millions” of settings and the privacy features, for an example if you press a link, you’ll get a popup with options (for an example, what app you want to open the link with). And if the link contains trackers, FairEmail will remove these by default and saying “tracking parameters removed” with yellow text in bold.

    K-9 Mail feels incomplete in comparison. Have you tried FairEmail?
