I would really suggest people to read their privacy policy - it is horrible. Good app but makes no sense for the exchange of privacy it demands.

Facebook, Whatsapp, X and Instagram are the top apps - do you think people really care about privacy policy? Not confusing an email client with social media apps but the general mass doesn’t care about privacy policy yet.

True, but we should normalise talking about prioritising privacy.

Here on Lemmy there’s slightly more privacy-sensitive demographic than your average social media. It was true even back on Reddit and it seems even more true here.

Good for the people who use them. I don’t.

I’ll still speak out against any app with such a heinous privacy policy.

Why did Google kill inbox? Was it somehow not profitable? Couldn’t cram enough ads into it?

Same reason why Google Now was killed. It was too useful for users. You open the app, you get the info you want. In fact, you don’t even need to open the app. That’s the problem, they had no place to insert the ads and make money.

That makes a terrifying amount of sense and I never looked at this issue from the angle you presented. God damn it, fucking capitalism.

Cannot recall what was Google Now. I remember Google+.

I tried it then uninstalled when I realized it was just a wrapper.

Any FOSS alternatives to Inbox/Shockwave?

Yeah, that would be great. I haven’t found anything like it sadly.

There’s a KDE itinerary plugin for Thunderbird but that’s about it, all the rest of the features are missing.
