All the more reason to use forums, fediverse services like Lemmy and Mastodon and private e2ee e-mail services. If you want to paid e-mail account benefits make sure the service lets you mail in cash. Fuck big tech. Good news is that, I'm logged in here on Lemmy and it's way faster than Reddit as it doesn't have all the overhead of ads and tracking scripts.
