A couple of days ago, my email account was suspended by @npub1stq6...pm75 and was reinstated within 24 hours after some back and forth with their support team. I have written a blog post describing the incident here
Why my Riseup account got suspended (and reinstated)
The only way to spy on me :)
, along with suggestions to improve Riseup's policies. I hope this catches the attention of someone from #Riseup. That said, spam sign-ups are a challenge, and I am curious to know how other providers like #Disroot or #Autistici handle them.
durare.org is a community-run #XMPP service managed by volunteers in their free time. It respects user privacy in instant messaging. Let me know if you would like to try. Unfortunately, running such a service incurs costs such as renting a VPS. On behalf of the community, I would like to request you to help us financially. It takes less than a minute and all contributions are welcome. Check

My bank website doesn't allow me to copy and paste my password during login. I don't know why, and I think that such a restriction leads to users creating insecure passwords. so that they can type themselves. Anyways, I use a password manager to create random passwords. I tried Don't Fuck With Paste extension in LibreWolf/Firefox and still can't paste my password on my bank's login page (I did add the bank site to the pattern in the extension). Any suggestions on extensions or otherwise?

No, India Is Not the Fourth Most Equal Country. Here’s the Real Data
Whichever way one looks at the data, the picture is clear: India is a highly unequal country, and inequality is worsening.
