Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit… anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I’m sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don’t even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren’t gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I’m not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I’m specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

Where do you live, because I want to go there immediately.

IDK, what else do they use? Email has to be the least bad option. At least with email you can choose your provider (or be your own).

Any of the dozens of federated chat services.

I would assume Whatsapp or equivalent.

Ah great, so a messenger run by a data hoarding giant that resists usage of anything but the proprietary non-free client.

Yeah? I didn’t say anything positive about it. I said that it’s likely to be the alternative to email in a lot of places.

Definitely not.

Many parts of the world use Whatsapp as their primary form of communication. It’s depressing.
