It says that “100% of the proceeds will be donated” and I recognize a few projects in their list that are worth supporting. While this still feels a bit like an ad, I thought it was newsworthy + something that the Fediverse would be supportive of?
Please share if you see any issues with this, and I can edit it into this post (or take down the post).

Join our charity fundraiser before it ends on January 5th
Since 2018, with support from the Proton community, we have financially supported non-profit organizations that share this vision, donating over $3 million to fuel a growing movement for a better internet. For this year’s fundraiser, we’re giving away 10 Proton Lifetime accounts, our most exclusive plan that gives you the most storage and all the features of all our current and future products, forever.
Starting today, you can enter the raffle to win a Lifetime plan. 100% of the proceeds will be donated, along with a $150,000 matching contribution from Proton. Raffle tickets are on sale from now until January 5 at 11:59 PM CET. We’ll announce the winners the following day.
Recipient details:
A portion of the funds will also go to a few organizations from past years, such as Tor, GrapheneOS, and others, as many nonprofits have seen drops in donations and are struggling to reach their budget goals.
this year’s recipients:
- Freedom House
- Free Software Foundation Europe
- Law for Change
- Ada Lovelace Institute
- Nothing2Hide
- Free Press Unlimited
- The Tech Oversight Project
- Open Data Institute
- OpenStreetMap
- Ladybird
I completely understand. One thing I’m working on right now is custom domain support, so that you can either use
yourname-labelname@yourdomain.comor even justlabelname@yourdomain.com. That way if you ultimately decide to switch providers, you wouldn’t have to change all your email addresses. I’m hoping to have that available within the next few months.That’s pretty much how addy.io works, I think their technology is also open source? At least free for selfhosted use, I never looked into the license itself.
Just had a look at your service and it sounds quite compelling. I’m just wondering how the “not a bot” sender confirmation works - would they essentially get an autoreply where they have to solve a captcha, click on a specific link or whatnot?
I’m curios how that works with senders that aren’t individuals but e.g. services I’m signing up for.
Any label you only want real people to send email to, you would enable screening, and they’ll get an autoreply with a link. Right now it’s just a link, but if I need to in the future, I could add a captcha.
Any label that you use for signing up somewhere, you wouldn’t enable screening, so that way they can send automated emails to you there. If you use an address for a label that doesn’t exist, it gets created as a “pending label”. Then you can approve or block it (or ignore it and it eventually gets deleted).
