Hey guys. I was recommended this thread. I'm looking to get on this riseup.net email system, thanks to an inspirational workshop I watched from Jacob Appelbaum. I would appreciate getting the two needed invites so I can get this up and running. Thanks.

I recommend you don't look for handouts here. Riseup users who give invites to strangers can lose their own accounts. I doubt you'll find anyone willing to take that risk on this forum.

All they say is you have to get an invite from two members. It does not say I need to personally know those riseup members, only that I get invite codes from them.

That's because you aren't aware of the guidelines for riseup users. There is a penalty for indiscriminately giving away invites.

It says exactly that.

You aren't missing anything by not using riseup. Using email requires the ability to read.

There is also unseen.

https://unseen.is/

Might even be more secure than riseup since it is not in good ole Amerika.

unseen is a good name for it. I cannot access the site, so it is definitely unseen. :x

The choice of the basic services offered by unseen.is makes one think of needing to purchase the premium services. One reason for having this impression is that with the premium package, users can create their own encryption private keys. So, contrary to what they claim, they will know the private keys when users opt not to use the premium package! If they value privacy so much, why wouldn't they allow all their services, irrespective of being against payment or not, to have total secrecy of the private keys?! :shock: :?

Think with your head, if it is free, it is usually free as in free bait. This doesn't mean that free services don't exist, but that, one must be very cautious with organisations that offer free services together with better mirror services requiring payment.

This looks more like a promotional stunt to me.

Are there two more people who would each give me an invitation code so that I may join riseup.net's email service? Thanks in advance.

An interesting quote from riseup
WARNING: If you give an invite code to somebody you don't know, we may close your account.
So don't give invites to people who join up here just to ask for an invite.

After three pages of this I think we all know the score so time to lock.
