checking trustability of a service by their website style & LOGO is ludicrous. even more — to hear same guy criticizing "woke people excluding someone from the team just because they were racists" now saying "riseup is a bad VPN 'cause one of their team members is an antifascist".

now, that doesn't mean that fighting the *men* is good (taking into account all the discrimination of men — read more on https://masculism.site/ — adversal feminist activism ain't helping), as well as one forcing you to use some exact one-and-only VPN to access one's service, as well as not letting you use the service with VPN overall. I agree w/ you about that.

RiseUp's projects have included the Stop Watching Us campaign against global surveillance disclosures revealed by Edward Snowden, fighting the NSA surveillance: https://www.vice.com/de/article/crowdfunding-kampagne-fuer-abhoersichere-email-und-chat-kommunikation/

On the other hand, one of the reasons not to use RiseUp is that their canary no longer states the absence of gag orders: https://www.zdnet.com/article/encrypted-email-provider-riseup-misses-warrant-canary-deadline/
