Emails are still a BIG weak point - we still need to solve that... Suggestions?...
I guess the reader will know why having BigTech email is bad (for everyone, even your family)
So it's this basic thing that feels like it's the worst or even biggest solvable
Thoughts and suggestions how to solve for average person?
(Take their phone for 30mins and give them a new email?) ...where to go for email?
@freeschool Matrix.org
I replaced my calls, SMS and mail with it and can't be happier
If only GNU wasn't still in the stone age to use it as well
@kreyren Oh yeah, I agree things like #MATRIX / #XMPP / #IRC for the way!
Happy to hear better links than below...
-MATRIX SIGNUP?

@freeschool In terms of matrix i would just search for `matrix servver list` on searx as matrix is federated like mastodon to provide too many servers with different rules, backend, frontend and other options
Personally i find these the most descriptive:
* https://tatsumoto-ren.github.io/blog/list-of-matrix-servers.html
* https://www.hello-matrix.net/public_servers.php
Or you can run your own most of the backends are one-liner command to execute docker container
Personally:
i would recommend tchncs.de in terms of a homeserver
I do not recommend matrix.org (the homeserver ran by developers) as it has long downtimes due to too high of a user count and abusive rules (got banned for saying that the sysadmin is incompetent)
