Privacy seekers rightfully bad-mouth Google and Microsoft. Yet I don’t see the slightest trace of fedi chatter about things like:

  • detecting whether an email address is hosted by Google or MS
  • snail mail issues and snail mail generally (pretty much no one took notice that a whole country pulled the plug on postal mail)
  • getting proof of delivery without paying extortionale registered letter prices
  • getting ignored because corps/govs who receive snail mail cannot be bothered to respond via post
  • how to align addresses in windowed envelopes - reusing windowed envelopes
  • what email services deliberately block MS and Google servers
  • onion-only email services with no clearnet addressing
  • mail clients that flag inbound messages with whether Google or MS were in the loop (by doing a header inspection)
  • using GDPR art.17 to get your email address removed after finding that a sender uses MS or Google.

etc..

Am I the only person in the world who refuses to send email to an MS or Google recipient, or give them an email address?
