Hi guys & girls, I'm the person behind /the_simple_computer/, nice to see the site making the rounds here.
To address a few concerns some people brought up, Autistici took 2 days to approve my account. I sent them some questions after the account was made and the replies were always in my inbox the next morning. At the time I had the account, there were 5 aliases you could make from the single email address you signed up for. You also have the choice of a bunch of different domains if you didn't like @autistici.org. The best thing to do with Riseup is just go for it. If they don't approve you...meh, not much you can do at that point and there are alternatives. Give it a shot if you think it's your best choice. I would try to steer clear of mentioning politics though, and pitch your request from the privacy standpoint. Just my $0.02. The biggest points I try to make to the people who ask me about email addresses are 1. Find something that doesn't show your ip address in the mail headers. 2. Stay away of targeted advertising, (though browser cookies can blur that 'targeted' definition now) and 3. Autistici and Riseup are two companies worth donating to, imo but especially if you're using their service. If anyone spots any errors in the email article or something that doesn't align with their observations (grammar nazis also welcome), let me know and I'll look into it asap. If anyone knows any services which aren't listed but should be, please share here. I'm sure there are some I've missed. Thanks. -tSc -- www.thesimplecomputer.info Research for Digital Privacy and Security _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
