Agree. I was waiting for the other foot to drop and then..."email's not going away."

Genuinely curious. Why is it posted and being upvoted here?

My guess: A lot of fastmail fans here. And people often upvote stuff from companies they like.

FM often(ish) posts blog posts that are very low key, sometimes they make it on HM, sometimes they don't.

With the recent articles about Proton supporting French right-wing candidates (from what I recall) individuals were mentioning how great Fastmail is as an alternative. That's my best guess at least

What does this even possibly mean? Fastmail has employees in the US, Europe and Australia. As far as I can tell with a warrant the government of any of these is likely to get a response from fastmail, just like if the government had a warrant to search my storage unit or review my bank statements. I don't understand the point you make. either there is rule of law or there isnt.
