Email is inherently insecure. If you want or need secure communications, that’s what software like Briar, Matrix, or Signal (yes despite some drama).

Secure emails can always be done manually with PGP and will be a lot hardier than trusting an organization that gives away subscriber payments to Western-backed coup attempts and color revolutions.

    Seeing I wrote the comment you are responding to, I’ll allow myself to bring a clarification about this point:

    Belarus is the last ex-Soviet country that still holds some socialised institutions (Lukashenko famously said that trade unions would be established in all businesses by the end of the year)

    In 2020, Lukashenko met with the chairman of the Federations of Trade Unions of Belarus and said the federation should put forward requests to all businesses (or as many as possible) to have a union represent their sector. He then added that all businesses that did not comply with this request would be shut down.

    The context in which I wrote this was soon after he said this, and iirc it was a popular topic on lemmygrad at the time.

    So no, you don’t need approval from Lukashenko to be unionised or form a union lol. He even said workers don’t have to join it if they don’t want to.
