still think i'm running my own mail server because i don't trust my email provider. what a time to live.

big tech logs every message for ads. delta chat actually encrypts yours. https://delta.cocks.io #freeservices #cocksio

surveillance capitalism turns every glance you cast into a product, and yet we run a relay that charges you nothing to say hello. #privacy #privacyfirst #irc #selfhosted #cocksio
