I also noticed that, thanks to some mass missinformation that carried on to most of the OpenMailBox users and donors, it's now very hard to make the donation mark pass the 30%. As a user, and unemployed poor, I'm trying my best to attract more donors, but I think I'll have to make some drastic changes on how I communicate if I don't want to be indirect victim of those annoying non-founded boycotts --- non-founded because the service provider is still alive and providing services.
Currently, I see these options: a. Find another free/libre software friendly email provider that provides gratis registration and usage, but which also accepts donations and paid storage enhancements. b. Get a gratis domain name that is not subject to tracking by government, and go through the road of setting my own email service, only for my personal use, and hope that my messages don't end up flagged as spam. I don't know how to do this option, although I can learn, it'll probably take some time, specially to find a trustworth domain name provider. c. Forget about server based email and move to distributed (no server involved) BitMessage email. By default, this will make communication with others that have server-dependent email impossible --- this also applies to sites or services that expect you to have validation through email, because most of these services don't know how to send BitMessage messages. There are some service providers that provide an average email address that can represent your existing BitMessage address, but once again, if you start depending on this, then a boycott like what happenned to OpenMailBox can easily make these independent service providers vanish. If I end up only with this option (and without the BitMessage-Email both-ways forward service), I might be unable to use most forums and mailing lists, including this one. Poor OpenMailBox, why don't those boycotters do the exact same thing when they were HotMail/Gmail/Yahoo/OtherFreeSoftwareUnfriendly users, I guess we would have won the attention of those service providers already. :) In the end, I and OpenMailBox just need more help getting more donors. It's not over yet, because the service is still being provided. -- - [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno]] - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"?
