We all need to back this project to get rid of the monopoly of Google.
- icebraining 13y agoGoogle doesn't have anywhere near a monopoly on Email. They are barely ahead their two largest competitors.
- oakaz 13y agoand what planet do you live in? everybody I know has a Google account only because of either Gmail or Youtube.
- icebraining 13y agoI live on the planet not defined only by your personal experiences.
- oakaz 13y agoOk then go research how many companies in silicon valley give their employees Gmail. All the companies I've been worked provided Gmail only because there is really not a good open source option. And Google accounts is a huge monopoly that obviously sounds bad enough to hurt your feelings. But this is the reality. Google is a valley of shit and most of us want to move on from it.
- icebraining 13y agoCriticizing Google doesn't "hurt my feeling". I've moved away from Gmail and other Google services (not all) a few years ago because I disagreed with their options. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with nonsensical claims such as Google having a monopoly on email. Maybe they do on Silicon Valley, but I'm sure you realize that's a pretty insignificant subset of email users.
- oakaz 13y agoI believe we aren't in the same planet.
- alextingle 13y agoYou sound like you're getting pretty emotional. Time for a cup of tea and a sit down?
- oakaz 13y agoyeah, I'm really upset to not have any alternative of Gmail. What do you recommend ?
