Disroot can be used for sending receiving PGP encrypted email using K-9 mail.
Services and other stuffs are quite appealing to explore but there registration seems closed as there is a notice
I visited it on monday !
Could it be a time zone issue? the time was monday in your area but not monday morning or later on the disroot team location?
They also had some trouble because microsoft blocked their emails so they disabled registeration (microsoft later unblocked them), the sign in form seem to work fine now (I tried it on a wednesday).
Just tried to register - got an email that said they'd get back to me in "a few days."
Yes, they don't seem to do weekends.
great so far simple and ad free finally a free email
You can't sing up at the weekend
This service is inherently political, which is too bad.
You always have to be wary of political services like this, as being honeypots.
We need more open-source and decentralized tools like this. [https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/a9s744/disroot_banned_me_for_my_turing_test_answer/](https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/a9s744/disroot_banned_me_for_my_turing_test_answer/)
This service isn't for everyone and that should be apparent in both it's name and mission statement. Disroot is an activist service (though just about anyone can register) that holds left-leaning values that could exclude people who do not agree with them like the Reddit user linked in your comment.
For banning users based on political values, you didn't give the best example by linking a Reddit post where the user said something in their answer that went explicitly against Disroot's ToS by writing a racist response for their Turing answer and played the victim when they got banned.
Though that's not to say that all privacy-oriented ecosystem providers are focused on social justice. Those that aren't are a minority, but aren't impossible to find out there as you just have to either find them or host them yourself.
What are you talking about? Most privacy emails don't openly flaunt their political views other than being pro-privacy, and ban users for merely disagreeing with them.
Disroot is anti-free speech and overly political.
If you are looking for a provider for email and cloud storage (nextcloud), this is the best.
I would have given a better Rating but, the Signup Process is overly complicated & some of the questions asked & minimum character count is insane. It is a little hard to navigate the website & creating Email Accounts & ETC is a bit rough to figure out unless you're familiar with Disroot. This site could most certainly use a makeover and it could be way more user friendly.
