I do self host a bunch of stuff but i really don’t want to run my own email :(

A lot of Nazis were supposedly born in 1988…

But in this specific case, i believe him.

They did delete the posts, at least. Not great but at least an acknowledgement that maybe this isn’t a good look for the company.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. (Fwiw I’ve seen fascist types use 88 and 1488 outside the US, too. “88” is technically German. It can have begin meaning outside the US/The West in general, though.)

I’d still go with proton over Google. Google is also on board with fascism. Maybe not as enthusiastic about it but I’m not sure that’s a difference.

That said, looking for alternatives may be good.

That’s naive. I’m not ditching proton yet, personally, but this does shake my confidence in them.

…88 is a red flag. Generally that’s a bad number.
