Probably some sort of social/political goal that they agree with, though if you said you were mostly interested in privacy and were willing to donate more than they recommend, I somewhat doubt they'd turn you down. I don't know how difficult it is; I got this account a long time ago, and when I did I knew people using Riseup. The way you get recommendations is by generating an invite code on user.riseup.net. > How well do they handle support issues? Only by email? Typical > response time for serious issues? I rarely need "support," but when I have a question for the Riseup people they're always in IRC. > Due to their low storage limit, I guess you just immediately delete msgs > when d/l w/ a client? Attachment size limit is very small.\ I immediately delete messages from the server anyway; but before I did that I raised my quota (you can do it from their user page). I justified that to myself by giving them more support, as they mention on the page where you can raise your quota. -- Sent from Ubuntu _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
