Forget badges and t-shirts. If you truly want to honor early adopters and build long-term trust, deliver verifiable substance over marketing:
1. Grandfathered Lifetime Pricing: True price-lock immunity against future tier splits.
2. Independent Audits & FOSS: Anyone can claim Zero-Knowledge. Back it up with public third-party security audits and open-source crypto libs.
3. Open Protocols: Local IMAP/SMTP/CalDAV bridge support — zero vendor lock-in.
4. Power-User Limits: Unlimited aliases and custom domain catch-all included.
5. Crypto Portability: Full client-side key/PGP export. We own our identity.
6. Direct Dev Access: A fast lane to core engineering for feedback and roadmap voting.
Invest in real transparency and technical freedom. That’s how you turn early backers into lifelong advocates.
Calling a forced cut from 25+ GB dynamically growing storage down to a 2 GB hard quota a "free gift for existing customers" takes serious marketing courage.
Early adopters funded your servers when nobody knew you, and now get rewarded with an unannounced downgrade to push them into a 3-seat team plan.
On top of that: a 6-hour full downtime, deleting user drafts by design, and releasing server-side changes days before mobile apps even clear App Store review? That’s not a v2 upgrade, that’s operating on an open heart without anesthesia.
Great domain name, questionable engineering practices, zero grandfathering. Local IMAP backups are running.
@alluringmedia Come to the dark side. We have Elon and cookies. And honestly, it doesn’t matter whether we end up living on Mars in 2034 or 2059. If there’s anyone who can pull it off, it’s Elon. If Elon were "left-leaning," you’d be singing his praises every single day.

@alexhostcom Hey guys, is there a known issue with your main website/customer panel? https://t.co/s6btPobPsL seems to be completely down/unreachable from various networks (tested via landline and 5G). My VPS instances are running perfectly fine, though. Any ETA?
