      <unwarranted rage No way, BONTO! sucked. You couldn’t even Slorp your entire friends list anymore, and they added all of those BONTOgrams for no reason. We disagree on a topic, so I despise you now and your entire genetic line. </rage

      But you should really try NeWSlarP, a FLOSS fork of Slorp by the original developer that brings back both SlorpTokens and Schlarpmänner!

        Don’t worry about the data breach. They had already sold your data to everyone out there.

        Those are amateur numbers. No wonder BONTO is getting aquired and restructured. They need to get those privacy invasion numbers up!

      In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances

    I actually love email. While yes, this post is accurate, email is the most filterable communication system that I have. Since I have my own email-server, and I know how procmail rules work, I can tightly control who is allowed to contact me, and what folders their messages go into. It also has great crowd-sourcing of known spammers, that I can pull from to help me filter out spammy IP addresses.

    Every other message system only has a “report spam” button, that is dependent on the service admins, and doesn’t actually stop people from sending me annoying junk-mail.

    I got an email the other day from Reddit about their privacy policy in the email account I made specifically for Lemmy and have not used AT ALL for Reddit. It is the only unexpected email I’ve ever had at this address and it made me wonder if someone else made a reddit account using my email. But then, it’s not publicly visible on Lemmy, afaik. Is it somewhere?

      I too got an email about policy change. What’s weird is that I did not get such email on my main email, which is used for my reddit account, but I did get that email on another email that I mostly use to sign up on random sites. That email said it affects a reddit account by the name I never heard before and it was empty (zero posts/comments), created 2-3 years ago, so that was weird
