Just like Disroot, idk what it is, but trying to start a profile with these politically-bent sites in an attempt to simply use the tech provided, you're either ignored or rejected for some reason.

Oh well, I would say use Protonmail.com first of all #1, and their are many others after that I'd recommend as well. Like #2 would Tutanota.com and 3rd would be Mailfence. Forget these guys, and Disroot, if they're gonna pick n choose for no reason...

Agree on nearly all of that. One disagreement?

#disroot

.. pick and choose for a reason, and that is to keep their email free from spammers and scammers

... bit tricky navigating disroot onboarding

but?

Well worth it when done. using it for confidential communications.

not perfect? but def #disroot is a step up from most 'email' offers

Heyy, thanks for the honest and genuine (human lol) response to my venting-rage post after being denied AGAIN for these guys Email Services Lolol

Anywho, do you have any advice, or, think it's possible AT ALL to acquire a Disroot Email Address account nowadays? Especially if you've already attempted Thrice times before?!?

Any tips or insights you may have as to how possible or NOT AT ALL possible this undertaking might be. I would be greatly appreciative of anything you may personally know/possess/understand and can bring to muster at this point in time... Just so that I may, put most simply, NOT WASTE another minute EITHER WAY, depending on the overall situation. Then I may know whereas to direct my very-little-free-time I have each day into:

A- Creating an Entirely New Account For Disroot to Accept or Otherwise Deny.

orrrrr....

B- After being armed by the relayed stories, firsthand experiences, general advice etc., I most likely will opt to save my precious time by sparing myself the torture of another "Account Creation" session. (P.S. Jason, whether you respond to this or na, doesn't entirely matter, so no pressure or anything like this. I would simply like to Thank You 4 what u already did for me, and still may, at some point.

~ May God Bless You, Jason. May He Also Bless Your Family & Those Closest And Most Beloved Ones To You :) ~

You should always be wary of political privacy services, whether right-wing or left-wing.

There is a high chance they could either be honeypots or discriminate based on political beliefs. You already see that with Disroot, cancelling accounts based on disagreeing with politics.

Riseup is of the far-left variety, promoting things on their websites such as "anti-capitalist, anti-hierarchy, feminist, or radical server projects."

In addition to the mail service I use with no issues since 2020, I love browsing their website and documentation.
