I’ve been trying different search engines and was pleasently surprised by startpage so i started looking into startmail too and then when i searched for startmail i saw they have a link directly to their dan bongino section https://www.startmail.com/bongino so thats a huge pass from me

for those who dont know he’s a very conservative podcast host whos now the FBI deputy director who pushed the conspiracy theory that trump actually won the 2020 election and rallied against face masks and “In 2018, Bongino said, “My entire life right now is about owning the libs. That’s it.”” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Bongino

EDIT: looks like they saw this thread or something and decided to have the link redirect to the homepage with the discount applied and removed his picture etc from their website. Here’s an archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250120094905/https://www.startmail.com/bongino/

    I’d be surprised if this was more than him signing up for an affiliate marketing link and driving traffic to the site.

    But I agree. He’s fascist mentally-ill trash, and no respectable business should be associated with him in any way.
