This is the only account I’ve used since I created this account, and I don’t presently have any intention of using any of my other accounts again at any time.

Everyone recommends Tuta in these threads.

I just (finally) had a look at their pricing. Seems egregiously expensive? 6EUR / user / month for their cheapest business plan is a bit nuts

I guess in this case it’s OP that labeled it as mutual aid rather than the requester.

It’s not really an “alt” account, I just don’t think of user accounts as an extension of my identity, and change very regularly.

Hah.

I’ve probably been kicking around the fediverse longer than you, it’s just this particular account that’s only a few weeks old.

Anyhow, feel free to continue giving money to people asking for it on lemmy i guess.

Is it weird that I’ve never heard this term “mutual aid” before this thread but apparently everyone here knows all about it?

Anyway. There’s just no way I’d give real money to someone asking for it like this because for every real person there must be a dozen scammers at least. It honestly seems crazy to me that this could work and people could send money.

If people are giving money away like this then they’re part of the problem IMO. You’re encouraging scammers, and perpetuating the practice, diverting money away from the people who actually need it.
