i want to get away from gmail but I can't find a replacement that doesn't cost a service fee to be reliable.

If you won't pay cash, then you have to pay data.

ahhh. so I guess I just can't use email anymore. got it!

edit: /s in case it was not obvious.

[–] ClemaX@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Would you provide a free mail service?

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

In general, no, you will not be provided services at no cost. If you want to go back to the post office, they will require you to buy stamps.

Tuta has a free tier.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

As does Proton.

I went with Tuta though.

That's how the world works unfortunately, someone has to pay for it

Look into infomaniak (yes, I know, silly name), but its a serious service and very up to par with Google Suite.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

thank you. i feel like i've seen their name around but I wasn't quite sure what they were about.

I would ask "was it this? https://beehaw.org/comment/4363681 "

because I found it in my notes by its website preview from when I saved it, but it seems someone deleted something and lemmy shit the bed again, and you dont have have a normal descriptive link like reddit does but only an internal database ID that does not refer to anything anymore....

the post title was "is this normal for domain name registrars to do.", and something that infomaniak did

I have this userscript that changes all Lemmy links to my home instance, so that comment still shows up here: https://lemmy.world/comment/15087567

Since your goal is “to move to a European registrar” Porkbun is not for you.

https://hosting-checker.net/websites/porkbun.com “Webserver Amazon”

Here are some additional options. https://european-alternatives.eu/category/domain-name-registrar

I suggest you reach out to Infomaniak support and ask for an alternative method which is less invasive.

https://www.infomaniak.com/en/help

Try to make Infomaniak a better experience for everyone. Infomaniak claims to be “The Ethical Cloud” but they did not start business as a privacy company and have been learning over time. Help to teach them with one more customer story. Let us know what happens.

If no luck with Infomaniak helping, you can try to contact a different registrar before signing up to confirm they will accept your domain type and ask them what the process will be. Hold them accountable to whatever process they describe if you choose them.

wow thanks! that's a long script, how do you know the new numeric ID that corresponds to the same content on the home instance?
