  • ๐Ÿ”— 2600's amazing Hackers on Planet Earth con may go down to enshittification

    It turns out that Google and the other major mail providers don't like emails with the word "hacker" in them. The cartel that decides which email gets delivered, and which messages go to spam, or get blocked altogether, mass-blocked the HOPE 2024 announcement.
    It's alarming how easily Google is managing to take control over email. It's the lifeblood of the internet. Just dropping all email from a list that you subscribe to, sent from a reputable domain, just because is completely unacceptable.

    If you're using gmail, please stop. I switched to Fastmail years ago and recommend you do too.
