Reading some of these comments, I wonder how much astroturfing goes on HN these days

I was thinking every response is almost incredulously high. Also makes me wonder about the source of all the anti-self-host email posts.

There's a specific comment here that is especially suspicious to me, but I didn't want to pry.

The source of those posts are likely people who got burned trying.

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.

idk I'm a legit happy customer :\
