The Register might not be to your taste, but some of us find it a refreshingly irreverent and amusing read. Anyway they are getting some stick for becoming too corporate and bland at the moment which just goes to show how difficult it is to make people happy.
I understand why you might be sceptical but your comment has motivated me to decloak and respond. Fastmail really do provide an excellent product. Like many of the other commentators I moved over to them from Gmail and am very glad I did so. Sometimes things truly are as good as they seem.
Yes it’s good to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism and I could (more than likely) be equally wrong, but I hope my comment encouraged others not to take comments online at face value always.
For what it’s worth, I signed up to fast mail yesterday, onboarding vs my cloudflare managed domain was a breeze and so far no issues (it’s email hosting (and their iOS app isn’t great), so there’s not much to get excited about on a day to day basis - apart from a long term appreciation of privacy first email).
I have just started using the Spark Mail App - now that I am excited about…if it lives up to its hype, it will be a great addition to my workflow.
The Guardian is probably the most often quoted publication in Private Eye's "Pseuds Corner", a regular selection of unintentionally amusing psuedo-intellectual writing.
