Ultimate Privacy Guide:

Mastering Email Security & Anonymity

Learn how to protect your identity, avoid data leaks and stay private with these essential email strategies ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

1

Avoid using personal email for sensitive matters. For such data, switch to secure messengers such as nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 , Session or Eement (Matrix).

2

Use aliases to create disposable, forwardable addresses that mask your real one

3

Self-host your email e.g. with Mail-in-a-Box

4

Use Tuta if you have no other option (avoid ProtonMail; they've been compromised, see [1])

5

Avoid Big Tech like Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo

6

Maintain separate email addresses for different activities (work, social media, financial etc.)

7

If possible, encrypt sensitive emails with PGP

8

Avoid Webmail to reduce exposure. Use K-9 Mail or Thunderbird.

9

Donโ€™t tie your email address to personal identifiers

10

Consider Monero to pay for email services if possible

11

Use services like https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if your email address has been compromised

Proceeds to link a X post. ngmi

He even mention on point 5 to avoid bigtech, while himself is using X/Twitter lol, and doesn't even use xcancel.com for his links...

That's some real compelling evidence of Proton compromise!

I suppose her association with the entire internet can be overlooked just for fun.

If you wanna talk shit on Proton, complain that the only crypto they accept is Bitcoin.

And prove Tuta is any better!

To add to point 3. Only do that if you run a nin KYC'd VPS or server otherwise the whole thing is senseless.

If you use Tuta use it with your own domain, otherwise it can bring you into troubles if Tuta shut down their service. With a personal domajn you can easily point it to another provider.

Learn everything about how to manage identities. That's the most important thing. That means it makes no sense to use another KYC mail service or your own hosted solution when you use it for you bank account or real life. Risk is to high that you doxx everything then. Split your mail identities not only with temp / alias mails. Do it with infrastructure
