Gmail rival

It's called an email provider and there are already a million of those. Don't act like it's some fancy high tech stuff

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 3 days ago

I think you forgot who the target market is...

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Damn. Imagine an email service that makes actual emails impossible to find, but constantly bombards your inbox with the most hellish cringest spam imaginable.

He's reinventing Yahoo Mail. Real "Return To Tradition" hours. It'll be like the 90s all over again.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 149 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Ah good, a mail service that scans your mailbox, determines if you're left leaning, and then doxes you to the Proud Boys/3 Percenters/Oath Keepers/etc. Fantastic idea.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 68 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Strange, according to our Xmail analytics 90% of people are right wing fascist supporters.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Oh good, they'll love it then because they won't have a choice.

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 118 points 4 days ago

Is it just me or is Elmo now just announcing random shit and hoping that by magic it just instantly exists?

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 80 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

In 2013 he said that his cars would be self-driving by 2016 and has been promising that it would finally happen "by the end of this year" or "next year" ever since.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago

same with humans on mars, the hyperloop, the tesla bot, the [whatever else he promised/will promise]

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago

Other than paying much smarter, more skilled, and generally better people to do stuff and take credit for their work, throwing out random shit and demanding that others make it happen is literally ALL he's done professionally since he made a Space Invaders clone as a kid. That and self-promoting.

He's the richest man in the world and also the perfect example of the fact that the ultra-rich don't become ultra-rich because they're smarter or more talented or because they just work really hard.

Being rich already; ruthless opportunism at the cost of the health, happiness, and often lives of others; and shamelessly relentless propaganda is how billionaires are made.

I'd rather keep my food in Jeffrey Dahmer's fridge than my mail on Elon Musk's server.

Rephrased: Elon Musk would like to scan the emails of gullible conservative’s to feed his LLMs.

"They trust me. Dumb fucks."

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 63 points 4 days ago

There is zero chance that people will create filters that automatically delete anything with an xmail domain. Nope. No chance whatsoever. Anything coming from someone who uses xmail has to be worth reading, right?

Melon musk, the Stevia Jobs of Tesla. Owner of X, X, X and another thing called X

I don't think I wanna be provided a service that I know edgelord in chief will fuck with when he's salty.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Stevia Jobs is the harshest thing I've ever seen ol' musky be called

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 42 points 4 days ago

Stop giving this fuckhead attention for vapor ware.

[-] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 4 days ago

I liked it for the transfem joke but everyone here is just making fun of elon :(

[-] Senseless@feddit.org 16 points 4 days ago

The joke is good, don't worry. Elon on the other hand..

[-] LifeLemons@lemmy.ml 42 points 4 days ago

Fuck big email providers. All my homies use proton mail 😎

We always have to remember that e-mail is a decentralized protocol. If so many people use one e-mail provider then e-mail will be less of a decentralized protocol and can be monopolised. I will hate it.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 4 days ago

Already is. I've even met a couple sites that only accepted GMail and Outlook addresses for sign-ups. And good luck making sure you don't end up in spam with something else.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago

Out of interest, how does the spam find a self hosted email? If i, for example, only submitted it one two sites where it was never leaked, and i never publicly posted it?

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 16 hours ago

I mean that YOUR emails would possibly end up in spam of say GMail users.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 16 hours ago

Oh yeah. https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/10/dead-letters/

Especially funny considering little spam comes from self hosted email.

Makes it trivial to spam filter it.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Gmail is arguably the last good thing Google still has going for it.

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Though still active, my Gmail now forwards everything to Proton Mail. It's not as nice, though very serviceable for the not-particularly-high volume of e-mail I receive.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago

I just wish proton mail supported clients.

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

It does have a bridge for Windows to use with other clients, not so much for phones though

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, but its still paid. don't see why they cant do that instead of some other useless product that no one will use.

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

The bridge isn't paid?
You can also use Proton Mail for free, much like Gmail is free up to a certain storage point.

[-] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 8 points 3 days ago

Having to use Gmail for work, I heartily disagree lol. What a piss-poor email system

Yes, but this meme (somehow) needs an edit featuring Willam Defoe's character from Boondock Saints:

[-] Spezi@feddit.org 35 points 4 days ago

Is this the greek X? Because then it would be Chi-Mail (aka Shemale)

[-] Zess@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

The X is pronounced "twitter."

This dude is fully losing it. I’m predicting some kind of massive meltdown very soon.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 56 points 4 days ago

What do you mean... "very soon"?

Isn't he actively in it? Dude is publicly calling King Charles to make the UK an autocracy lol,supporting German far-right groups, etc etc

I'm not so sure. I reckon he's using a Trump-style strategy of just constantly doing and saying outrageous rubbish in order to dominate people's attention. i.e. He just wants people to be paying attention to him, and thinking about him, and writing about him, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.

I believe he is doing this as a deliberate strategy, knowing that even if a lot of the reaction is negative, it still means that he has the attention of the world - and that people will listen to what he is saying.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Also his ultimate goal is to become a trillionaire. Because he thinks we live in a simulation and that he is the main player and he wants to beat the high score. And he found out the best way to achieve that is to create a cult around him. Tesla stock only soared to those heights because of him as a person not because the company’s performance. People are buying Tesla stock like it’s a tithe to the Elon church. And to keep people in the cult of Elon he sows division. The more negativity surrounding him from outsiders the more his cult followers will dig their heels into the ground and buy more of his stocks and products.

Is this satire? I genuinely cannot tell anymore

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago

I swear to fucking God, I will auto report every fucking email from their email server I get.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I appreciate that that wording must have been annoying (if not painful) to write for a trans person but she still did it because it was too good an opportunity to pass.

If it does not ask for a phone number, it could be a good alternative for temp email.

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago

There are a lot of existing alternatives to temp mail, you shouldn't need to resort to anything he has to offer..
