I use ProtonMail, and I was thinking, "Damn, it's spectacular not being tracked... but hold on a minute. Perhaps less than gmail, but still at all. And what about browser fingerprinting, and cookies, and even fonts!" I ended up in that feedback loop we all end up in. Perhaps ignorance is bliss? What is something you (might) wish you were ignorant of?

Sure, but you can also join an org, and make a difference that way at a larger scale.

Fair, there is actually one local to me I’ve been looking into. I’m not sure what use I can be but I should at least try.
