The Email Revolution
www.open.email
A decentralized, secure email-like system that offers true end-to-end encryption and a sustainable, privacy-first model. It's a system that doesn't require trusting anyone with your data. It's open by design, without gatekeepers and barriers, available to all.

Just come across this. Haven’t dug too deep but sounds like an interesting opportunity. I think it can only succeed if it is fully compliant with current systems. Seems to only be mobile clients. No desktop? Are big tech going to permit this to grow? It would shut down a data mining opportunity …

    Email is already open and fully distributed.

    The fact that most people gravitate to a few large providers isn’t really related to email as a system IMO.

      That’s not the issue, it’s that it’s not e2e encrypted automatically although other people like proton and tuta already do this you have to use there sergers, with openmail you can self-host or use third party servers. It does feel a bit like this situation though:

      The big email providers will send all of your mail to spam if you selfhost it though.

          Yes, can be an issue. But if you set it up right, use dkim/dmarc/SPF, and don’t do stupid things like spam people, you’re good. It isnt hard. It is just hard getting a static IP for a homelab, really.
