Pay off all of the stuff (mortgages, car, etc.), put 20k into my regular account, spend about 10-15k on luxury items, put the rest into an index fund.

I don't really think that they are trying to poison people, but its still creepy as fuck. The US government takes 0 accountability, as shown by their treatment of Edward Snowden and other whistle-blowers. If anyone here wants to kill people freely, get a job as a government enforcer. The pay is good to. No college required.

Worst: Thinking that it would at least be a refuge after Voat died. I was wrong.

Best: Being banned by the leftist moderation, proving everything I’d come to think about it after using it.

I never used it much, lurked. Definitely swiped a meme or two from there.

Wasn't a big fan of how clunky and JS dependent the site was, and how little these 'alternative reddit' type sites did little to protect end-user privacy. Pretty much what I said could be applied to the same question if it was about Voat, but Voat had a better interface. Two sites I had accounts on but rarely logged into.

The yggdrasil link http://[200:168a:c80a:b258:1dfe:f920:4414:6897]/ does not work as it says Host Unknown, but changing the Host header in the http request to incogtube.com fixes it, so seems to be a configuration error

How friendly to free speech is riseup? It certainly doesn't present itself as such.

For example, would it be less likely to kick off somebody using their email service in a flyer they don't like than Protonmail? Everybody gushes over these little services, yet the first change they have of calling you a racist for something you didn't even do with their service, they will cut you off.

What's the point of feeding communists, who hate me, all my data voluntarily?

It's registered in AU and they have operations there, but they claim the "main servers" are in the US.

The CEO griped that secret code added to their platform, required by the law, could foul their operations or get accidentally fixed, so they certainly think they're subject to it.

Is it based there, as in, that is where the company is registered?

Or is it based there, as in, that is where the servers are?

If that's just where the company is registered, no big deal really. (As far as I know) If the servers / infrastructure for the service is there, then that is more worrisome.

Fastmail location is not really a problem, but there are others that make it the second worst e-mail provider, the first one being Hushmail. I would only use it for its JMAP thing ltt.rs supports, but most people use IMAP instead, so why bother? Just use Riseup (or Disroot if you don't have the invite code) - you don't even have to pay for it!

Fastmail is based in Australia, which subjects it to the "Assistance and Access Bill" which introduces secret warrants, gag orders, and backdoors. Like VPNs in similar jurisdictions, you can not take seriously any claims to deleting logs or other privacy trust.
