I just got this email from them. Scary.

You can verify this PGP signed message by checking the fingerprint at the bottom of the welcome e-mail you received when you first opened your cock.li account.

For the first time ever, I’m asking you to donate directly to the team that makes cock.li possible. For 11 years unpaid work has kept this site alive; the war chest for legal funds has never once been used to pay anyone directly related with the service for their work.

Now, an existential threat faces the site which requires the team to take leave from our jobs and daily lives and commit full-time to keeping the service online. Without your help, cock.li might shut down, but we are giving it everything we’ve got.

🚨 COCK.LI IS ON RED ALERT.

Cock.li will shut down before becoming complicit in crimes against its own userbase by duress of any government or organization.

For nearly 11 years, cock.li has remained one of the only public e-mail providers to allow registration as anonymously as a library card. This has only been possible by the dedication of our entire lives to this bit. Our small team of 3-5 people has permanently sacrificed the stability of our lives so Internet users worldwide can more-or-less enjoy the comfort of being able to access e-mail without requiring a phone number or other surveillance document.

99% of the sacrifices made to keep this site online have never been made public. Despite the extreme personal costs, no one directly involved has ever been paid in 11 years for their work on cock.li. For the first time ever, I’m asking you to donate directly to the small team that makes cock.li possible.

We have a sizable donation pool for hosting and legal expenses. Sadly, our real lives got in the way as we get older, and we’ve been taking steps back to compensate when we should have been stepping up. Now is your chance to make a real difference by telling us to use your donation where it will help the most right now: to allow our small team to step away from our jobs and pour all of our passion into this service to keep it alive.

It shouldn’t surprise you that the people who are so passionate about this service are not profiteers or business people. We are private, unpaid individuals who don’t want to see one of the last great liberties of this Internet fall victim to the criminal and violent attempts to shut it down. If these critical threats force us to change the world to ensure e-mail remains recognized as a human right, we won’t hesitate to do it.

We never once asked for personal donations specifically in the hopes that if this moment came, our userbase will appreciate that we were able to make it this long on passion alone, and trust that your donation will make the best possible impact.

There is much work to be done. I will keep you updated as much as I can. Thank you very much for your consideration.

In the 2022 film COCKCON 2020 (2019)0, a 250MB encrypted file was hidden in a second video track of the 1080p release. You can download this film here1. I don’t know if the encryption key will ever be released, but if it does, you’ll want quick access to that file.

Furthermore, two more files are released today, 2024-11-12: ins10.luks2 (555MB) and ins11.luks3 (64MB). Please download these torrents and seed them as long as you can.
