Since the recent Proton events I need to change providers and I found RiseUP.

I would like to know how good is this service and if I should consider it.

Moreover as I know that it is no open to sign up how to get a RiseUP account? THX for all

    I used to be in a group that use it, and it works very well; we made great use of the mailing list feature, which Proton lacks beyond “contact groups”. The only thing is getting an invitation, which I seem to recall reading they’re not doing any more.

      Riseup provides email accounts and mailing lists. Anyone can create a mailing list.

      But for an email account you will need to know a friend who can give you an invite code. Riseup is meant for activists though.

      Disroot is open for anyone to ask for an account.

      Don’t forget to donate to Disroot if you can : https://disroot.org/en/blog/disnews-24.12

      But here’s the challenge: we’re falling short of this year’s financial target. Even worse, we’re unable to support the open-source projects we rely on as much as we used to. While donations have increased since 2020, the number of supporters has stayed the same. To all of you loyal contributors, thank you — you’ve kept us going! 🙏

      However, we need more people to join. Small contributions make a big difference when more people chip in! If you value the services we provide and haven’t started supporting yet, now is the time to act. Together, we can sustain a real alternative to big tech services (where you are the product).
