    I’m in a quest to find a good email provider that doesn’t ask for a cellphone or another email address while creating an account, cock.li used to do this but now it’s “getting back on its feet”

      Just signed up for Tuta and they do not ask for this.

      There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that’s probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.

      Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).

      Personally I use mailbox.org, it’s not free, but you are not the product

        Proton? More like pro Nazi.

          OFTL Did they support Trump?

            The CEO made a remark about Trump, and used his corporate account for it.

            If I recall correctly (no press statement was made by Proton), it was a personal remark on a corporate account, which he was quick to allow anyone to do. It also didn’t support Trump as a whole, just a remark Orangeman made about getting small business a level playing field (which I totally trust from an olicharch).

            I’m still sticking with Proton for the foreseeable future, as its privacy awareness and advocacy is still a core business value.

            Their founder did, very openly and expressively, it was quite bizarre

              Then he tried to walk it back by gaslighting.

              “I wasn’t being political” said the man who was clearly being political.
