Google deletes “communist bandits” from comments on Youtube

I did the same a few years back, use duck duck go for search, iphone for phone, apple maps for directions, firefox|safari|brave for browser, it is really easy to get google out of your life, only thing I am still looking to replace is mail, if anyone has found something that is free(or relatively cheap) and is reliable I'd love to know.

Try fastmail. $30 for an annual plan and it works like a charm. A lot of people in here recommend it.

Do they still recycle the address if you stop paying?

In 2020 everyone serious about own stuff should use own domains.

Didn't happen in my case, but I can't speak for everyone. I tried an e-mail for a month, the trial ended, six months later when I went for the full plan it was still available.

I will sound silly, but I've gone with Outlook, just kinda waiting on them to allow me to use my domain from namecheap. They only support godaddy, if that doesn't change I'll find a different provider, but I went with them because I can get actual Office applications along with ad-free mail. I got an @outlook.com email though, but waiting on their domain support to not suck so much.

Protonmail[1] is a viable free alternative to google/microsoft/yahoo. Also has client-side encryption and is hosted in a mountain bunker in Switzerland, so there's lots of points for security & privacy.

That has obvious discoverability problems.

Bitchute seems to be gaining traction. Currently, they're where you go to watch banned videos and banned content producers like Infowars, Soph, etc.

PeerTube is one alternative that is recommended.

Does PeerTube have an answer to the discoverability problem yet? That's one thing I've noticed in the past.

It works if you have a specific URL to click on for a video, but if I just want to "find" a video, that will be relatively difficult.

Twitch.tv! It's not just for live streams either. You can watch lots of previously recorded streams as well. It's also not just for video games (though it is predominantly video games).

I can't think of a decent alternative, for learning khan academy is good. Sounds like a source for disruption :)

Take a look at https://purelymail.com/ - $10 per year - unlimited domains and aliases.

A lot of webhost + domain offers come with complimentary email. Just remember to pay your renewals or all hell breaks loose.

That actually looks decently cheap but has anybody else on HN used this before? I don't think I've heard of it till now.
