Minds That Build (@Mindsthatbuild) reported@manishkhosiya Most people blame Gmail when the real storage problem is somewhere else

Ivan Landabaso (@IvanLandabaso) reported1/ Act 1: The Wilderness (2017-2020, $0 to <$1M) After ~100 rejections, one name was left on their list: Mark Cuban. Steffen found his private Gmail inside the Sony hack data dump (anyone could download it back then, wild), sent a cold email with a video of the tech, and Cuban replied in 5 minutes ($1M at a $5M post). - Lever 1: they marketed a product that didn't exist yet by making famous people speak languages they don't. A BBC anchor in Mandarin, Beckham asking for malaria donations in 9 languages (800M+ impressions), Messi selling Lay's (a Cannes Lion), etc. Great (almost free) distribution leverage for a 10-person startup at the time. - Lever 2: they killed their only product with real revenue on purpose. Dubbing booked just under $1M over 18 months but sat at the wrong end of the workflow, "a vitamin, not a painkiller" as Victor puts it, so they shut it down (trade-off to identify and focus on a long term revenue driver, corporates). - Lever 3: they sold a worse video to people comparing it to no video at all. A clunky 2020 avatar lost to a film crew but it beat the 15-page PDF nobody tended to read in a coroporation, and that flipped pretty much everything (roadmap, monetization and trajectory). Self-serve hit $0 to $1M ARR in ~4 months.

Ike Hirsch (@ikenoelhirsch) reportedMost cold emails fail because people let AI write them. Here's why that's backwards. ChatGPT, Claude, and every other model trained on internet data. They scraped Google's top 100 results for "cold email copywriting." Those results weren't written by people who close deals. They were written by SEO copywriters who know how to rank, not convert. So when you ask AI to write your cold email, you're asking a model trained on bad data to do your job. AI is a researcher, not a writer. Use it to pull context. Use it to normalize data. Don't use it to write your pitch. Here's the framework that actually converts: Your prospect reads your email and asks three questions in this order. 1. Is this person going to screw me? Trust signals happen outside the email. Your domain matters. Gmail addresses don't convert. Yahoo addresses definitely don't convert. Your website needs to look like it was built this decade. Your LinkedIn profile needs to exist. If those aren't in place, your copy can't save you. 2. Is this offer for me or for everyone? Segment your lists. If you offer Google Ads to plumbers and cold email to SaaS companies, those are two campaigns with two different scripts. Specificity converts. "I help everyone" converts nobody. Personalization goes here. Name their exact pain. Reference their product by model number if you can. Make it impossible for them to think this email went to 10,000 other people. 3. Do I believe this can help me make money? Your offer matters more than your copy. A great offer with average copy will outperform average offer with great copy every time. If your pitch is "pay me $10,000 upfront and maybe you'll see results in 3 months," no amount of personalization will fix that. Reframe it. Remove risk. Make the first step smaller. Then write the email long enough to answer every objection before they ask it. Short emails get more replies. Long emails get better replies. The goal isn't response rate. The goal is "how do I get started?" replies, not "send me your pricing" replies. Every email between the cold pitch and the booked call is another chance for them to go cold. Answer their objections up front so the only logical next step is a meeting. AI fits in at the research layer. Use it to scrape their website and write one hyper-specific sentence about what they do. Use it to pull product names or case studies. Use it to normalize messy data into clean fields you can inject into your email. But the structure, the offer, the psychology, that's on you. Cold email converts when you stop asking AI to do your thinking and start using it to handle the tedious **** that makes personalization scalable. What's the weakest part of your cold email right now?

Silent_No_More (@silentn0mor3) reported@4nt1p4tt3rn Most people are unprepared to deal with the security risks associated with running a sendmail server. How about a free Protonmail account? I'm sure they're not as private as they claim, but they're a darn sight better than Gmail. My challenge has just been undertaking the grunt work of transitioning email addresses - in all the sites and services that I depend on. Although it would likely free me up from Spam which is 95% of the email I get daily. I've tried starting this before only to fizzle out.

Base.Tube (@base_tube) reportedThe worst part isn’t the spam. It’s the $5k deal sitting in the same inbox as a crypto scam and a $50 “collab.” A public Gmail turns your business into a junk drawer. The fix isn’t more hustle. It’s a front door that filters, qualifies, and protects the good stuff.

Abhishek Mehta | AMFI REG (@imAbhishek9596) reportedExactly. Banning Telegram while WhatsApp, Gmail & Signal run freely is like banning one road after an accident but keeping all others open. The real fix? Secure the exams with better tech, strict invigilation & fast policing of leaks — not killing one messenger. Selective bans only breed distrust, not solutions.
-
Andrew Carles (@andrew_carles) reported@hetmehtaa The issue is that email itself is not inherently secure. While the practitioner's email system may be encrypted and compliant, there is no guarantee that a patient's personal AOL, Yahoo, or Gmail account has the same level of security. Once information leaves the provider's secure environment and is delivered to an unsecured personal email account, the risk of unauthorized access increases significantly.
-
serial unrigger (@serialunrigger) reported@IceSolst major mail service providers like gmail have made all these mostly-pointless things a soft requirement to run your own mail server. dkim is about attribution, so no server can claim after the fact that they/their user did not send the mail. it's a scheme to ruin self hosting.

dill | 🗡️ herbhaalist • astarion's right fang 🩸 (@lumalangoy_) reportedI rarely use Gmail nowadays because we have a work email server and every time I use Gmail now, I get jumpscared with the Elden Email extension I had installed

James Camp 🛠,🛠 (@JamesonCamp) reported@HenedyVP Are you getting those emails as optin? For newsletter cause that’s a bit low if so brother I also am not making a comment on the quality of what you're doing in my original post. What I'm trying to say is that: Phone carriers are cracking down on inbound calls and so are Gmail and Turn The Inbox. It's not fully happening yet but it is on the way in the next couple of years

Insideπ (πNetworkBuzz) (@anuragarwt) reported@ambassador0x @sidrachain @maljefairi What if you did not sign up with Gmail- any way to login other than Gmail account?
-
NIX (@VascoJude) reportedStep 5. Create profile: Fill out your details as it is on your valid ID. Make sure you create a new Gmail to open your account with. Do not use your main email because you might need someone to login into your account at some point and they’ll need access to that email. Keep your privacy. Verify identity: Continue the identity verification on your phone by scanning the QR Code (for people in UK use share code it’s easier and faster. For people in Canada, use driver’s license or provincial permit) Verify skills: Take the communication assessment in any language you’re comfortable with even if it’s Hausa, Igbo, or Yoruba.

BlockLegend (@legend_block01) reported@TeamYouTube My gmail account is hacked and I cannot recover it. Someone has changed the password, added a passkey, changed the contact number, changed recovery email and everything. There is no way to sign-in. Google account recovery is not working as well. Please help!!!!!

Rex Ratio (Official) (@vermontaigne) reported@Google When are you going to permit me to use sorting without having your terrible AI suggestions imposed on my GMail? I don't want my personal emails written by AI. I am a Google One subscriber who's very unhappy about this garbage. This is just abusive.

Pradipta Ray | Money & Credit (@PradiptaMoney) reported@Sakshi50038 Love the sentiment, honestly. But let's be real. Zoho Mail over Gmail — valid. Zoho is genuinely world-class and Indian. ✅ Indus over ChatGPT — tried it. Not there yet. ❌ Paragon over Nike — for what exactly? Running shoes or formal wear? Context matters. Bisleri over Kinley — both fine, honestly. Voltas over Samsung AC — actually a solid choice. Tata product. Indian brand. ✅ Jio over Vodafone — most Indians have already made this switch. ✅ SBI over Standard Chartered — depends on your needs completely. The problem with "Go Desi" campaigns: We celebrate the idea. But the Indian alternative has to actually be better or equal first. Choosing India out of guilt doesn't help. Choosing Indian because it's genuinely good — that builds the ecosystem. Build better products first. The customers will follow naturally. 🙏

Jose Velez (@J_dev363) reported@nandoprince93 The problem is that while the integration is good the app itself is not that good. I’ve tried using Apple Maps and I always get a wrong direction. I try using Apple Music but the recommendations are not that good. I use Apple mail because I prefer it over Gmail but even that, the ui is weird
-
Anuvrat Singh (@anuvrat_singh) reportedFor context on how bad 36/100 actually is: the alert system was also making 2,000 sequential email connections per send cycle. At 1,000 subscribers that's enough to get the whole service rate-limited by Gmail. Not a slow feature. A feature that quietly stops working at scale, with no error, no log, nothing telling you it failed. This is the stuff that's invisible until it isn't.
-
Diego Cazzola (@DiegoCazzola) reported@GeminiApp @gmail The problem is that you assume people only use one email address. And that's almost never the case.
-
Vaibhav Sharma (@TheVaibhavShrma) reportedSince exam papers can be leaked through messaging platforms, the government should immediately ban Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Outlook, Gmail, Zoom, and maybe email itself. Can't have leaks if nobody can communicate. Problem solved. 😌

Brandforma — Minimalist Logo Design Studio (@brandforma) reportedA silent technical bug cost me 5 client leads over the past month. My business email stopped delivering to Gmail. No bounce. No error. Emails were sent, I just never received them. Hosting changed something server-side. Everything looked fine from the outside. The fix took minutes. The damage was already done. The lesson: test your business email regularly. Send a test message. Click your own contact form. Don't assume it works because it used to.

채이⚓️ (@evrzheart) reported@heart2ana i was actually mad that they put carmen in long pants with double layer at the beach but they started to be too dramatic at the point to spam the protect email over pants there are real problems that the girls could be facing and they are spamming the damn gmail over pants

nmuk (@nmuk) reported@ExitLiqCapital I've got my own domain, never had a problem. But my domain name doesn't end in capital which suggests some kind of financial services. It's not about having your own non gmail domain.
