   Just to be clear: If #Google decides it’s okay to no longer send non-Gmail users the ACTUAL #email, but only a LINK to some bullshit #proprietary service that you must click to “unlock” the TRUE contents, then Gmail ceases to be an email provider but is merely a spam service which bullies unsuspecting users into using their proprietary crap.

   While this seems to be limited to (fake) E2E for now, I’m afraid it could get worse if people do not resist.

   I know why I don’t use #Gmail.

     @Wuzzy@cyberplace.social #Gmail is already mostly a spam service. The majority of email my servers get from #Google servers is bog-standard phishing attempts or other forms of scam mail. Its absurd that Google rejects email from legitimate self-hosters because they're supposedly a source of spam mail, but lets their own service spam up the Internet with no restrictions.
     
     Self-host your email, don't give mega-corporations any more power to abuse!
