Brooks, Herman and Anderson Law firm - Bonto data privacy class action lawsuit
Get your .0012¢ for a $7 processing fee!
That hasn't been my experience. My portion of the settlement is usually about $100.00. it's insulting, but it still spends.
I'm still waiting for my $13 from fuckerberg
bonto has settled and agreed to provide one year of credit monitoring
BONTO! was sooo good. Like it really improved the Slorpiness.
No way! BONTO! was just the enshitfication of Slorp by a private equity firm.
<unwarranted rage No way, BONTO! sucked. You couldn't even Slorp your entire friends list anymore, and they added all of those BONTOgrams for no reason. We disagree on a topic, so I despise you now and your entire genetic line. </rage
But you should really try NeWSlarP, a FLOSS fork of Slorp by the original developer that brings back both SlorpTokens and Schlarpmänner!

Body: Log on to our website because we couldn't possibly JUST FUCKING TELL YOU HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY OR WHATEVER YOU USED THIS MONTH DIRECTLY IN THE E-MAIL; no, we've got to play fucking games and make you do extra work and stop you from automatically having a record of your shit without having to deliberately log on to the platform we control and download them individually with 30 seconds worth of clicking between each one.
WTF is even the point of the email if there's NO USEFUL INFORMATION IN IT?!
It's annoying, but from a data security point of view it makes sense, personal information like that is more secure behind the login on their website than in an e-mail in plain text.
BONTO! has had a security breach. Your data has been stolen. We're sorry.
Your privacy is very important to BONTO! Please give us permission to share your data with the following 465 companies
Please give us permission to share your data with the following 465 companies
Those are amateur numbers. No wonder BONTO is getting aquired and restructured. They need to get those privacy invasion numbers up!
In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances
The same could be said for any form of communication, really.
I remember when phones used to be good. Now it's all
I remember when mail used to be good. Now it's all
Will happen to every new medium eventually. It's inevitable under capitalism.
Wait what? BONTO is shutting down??? Aww man...
I only really liked it when it was Slorp. When they changed over to BONTO that's when the enshitification started. Where my Slorp homies at?
I agree, I only stayed on BLORP for the Bgrams.
There's now a self-hosted alternative to BLORP that has full Bgrams support.

Now do this again every fucking hour on this service you use all day you fucking cow.
bc work emails need to be more secure than classified war plans... for some fucking reason
I legit got an e-mail from Facebook telling me that I should join Facebook because “no one uses e-mail anymore”. Ummmm…..well someone must be still using e-mail and No.
I actually love email. While yes, this post is accurate, email is the most filterable communication system that I have. Since I have my own email-server, and I know how procmail rules work, I can tightly control who is allowed to contact me, and what folders their messages go into. It also has great crowd-sourcing of known spammers, that I can pull from to help me filter out spammy IP addresses.
Every other message system only has a "report spam" button, that is dependent on the service admins, and doesn't actually stop people from sending me annoying junk-mail.
Actually no, I don't remember when email was ever useful and I do remember dial-up internet 😂
It used to be chain emails "Send this to 10 other people or YOU'LL DIE" and people forwarding other people's bad picture slideshows and even worse uplifting inspiring cards without looking at them, and now it's automated slop.
Those meme email chains were annoying at the time, but kinda endearing to look back on in retrospect.
I kept getting added onto ones my mum and dad were getting from a bunch of their friends that had people's random corporate/work email addresses included and stuff.....
It was a simpler time, when boomers hadn't discovered social media yet, and were making their own fun without Facebook and without the algorithm.
If someone offered me a chance to magic social media away like it never happened, and the price I had to pay was unfunny memes spamming my inbox, it's a price I'd pay gladly.
BONTO! sucked anyhow. BONMO~ is the FOSS replacement that does everything better.
They're looking for devs btw, which is why it's been so long without an update or bug fixes.

You don' hate email; you hate capitalism.
In the late 90s there was a women's magazine called Bust, and for some reason they'd also let you have a bust dot com email account if you wanted. You could email me at [email protected], and those were creative fun days of the Internet.
ETA: it still exists as a quarterly internet magazine but it is NOTHING like it was, it was a great magazine.

I do miss BONTO! though. Not gonna lie.
I actually love email. It's great that we have a standard and open protocol for sending and receving virtual mail. Without email we would be now probably using some closed-source proprierary and not interoperable solution witch locks you in. I'm glad it didn't happen.

Slorp was so much better before they changed their name to Bonto. Only young people prefer Bonto, and they're idiots.
Bonto killed Slorp, Bonto is the only reason it shutdown.
I have a mail account I only use for humans and each mail is a delightful surprise 😁
They forgot the newsletters you get twice a day* (*thrice if you opted out of newsletters) and the deluge of spam when everyone at Bonto sold your email address while they were going out of business.

Thank you for confirming that you are reachable at your listed email address! We will not contact you anymore, but we have already sold this information to our corporate sponsors, have the shittiest day imaginable!:-)
What the hell is BONTO! I don't remember making an account on BONTO! Why do I have a BONTO! account is someone impersonating me WAS MY EMAIL HACKED??? Oh wait it's just a rebrand of that one website that forced me to create an account 10 years ago.
Mail is made so much better when using an alias system like SImpleLogin from Proton. Just create a new mail for everything (except Atlassian the idiots) and when they start doing bullshit you can terminate the email.
Enabling OTP code 2FA will also reduce the verification emails
Remember when mail was useful? When you opened the letter box hoping to see a letter from a friend who moved to a different city?
Now mail is just like email. Or to put it differently, email became like it's physical predecessor.
