Where do you pick up political undertones? I'm genuinely curious. I read the whole landing page and it is all lighthearted and friendly, and I pick up on nothing that makes me think otherwise.
The example profile includes pronouns.
Sooo f*ing tired.

#134Bought one for my kiddo. He’s just a baby but still needs a unique email for me to create him accounts (eg frequent flyer, global entry) and I had previously been using a +variant on my gmail. Having a vanity email alias seems more fun.
A lot of services don't let you change your email address. Could cause some pain if this service doesn't exist in 20 years.

You mean, like every other service anybody stands up ever? The ones that charge money are the ones that stand any chance of surviving. https://archive.is/7LxAh
The longer something has existed, the longer it is likely to continue existing. Going with Gmail or a custom domain is a really safe bet. There is no way I’d use an email service that’s less than 10 years old now. My gmail account from when I was a kid is still active and working while most of the vanity/foss/privacy focused ones I signed up for have since died.

It's the left wing equivalent of putting up a bunch of burning crosses and pretending they don't mean anything.
I know exactly how fairly I would be treated in that community and it looks like this: (the flagged and dead comment below this)

#137This is a great idea and I absolutely love it. The only thing I don't like is the branding. It seems to have some political undertones to it. I think combining this with a product like crypt pad is a great start towards creating a more independent Google workspace competitor. (and I'm flagged lol, way to prove my point)

#138I would kill to know how many people converted despite these comments.

#139You get a surprising amount of functionality for $20. I just got an account and I've been poking around for about an hour. I'm seriously impressed. You get: - a webpage - DNS - email forwarding - a statuslog - url shortener - a pastebin - a weblog - an optional Mastodon account - optional IRC/Discord - and probably some more stuff I missed And all of this stuff is much more configurable than it would typically be on…
I extensively use the API for pastebin and URL shortener. It's very much a selling point for me -- love being able to control things on the command line with a few simple scripts.
Great package of tiny little web apps for a good dollar amount and a great author.
