18 days agoI was going to say it’s pretty ironic that a privacy focused provider would be based in the UK what with their laws lately, but apparently email providers are exempted from the bill I was thinking of (no general carveout though, they name emails, SMS and MMS specifically. If you want to create a new protocol that does the same thing as email, or as SMS, its regulated as social media for some reason…)
Either way self hosting takes care of that problem. Neat!
note that I said provider not developer. Obviously people don’t have much choice and their location isn’t a reason to cast judgment on them, but what jurisdiction a service provider operates out of is pretty impactful. I’m certainly not envious of the current political situation in the Kid Starver regime
