 I'm getting rid of my @Alby account and stopping using all their services and apps. My spidey senses are tingling with all the red flags. I advise you to do the same.

 🚩 All emails from @Alby contain embedded trackers. The website also has them and is riddled with bigtech.

🚩 The Alby Account is a shitcoin, we can't log in using Nostr, we are forced to log in with an email address (ridiculous) and complete monkey CAPTCHAs puzzles every time.

🚩 When my IP changes (which happens frequently) and I try to access my account, Alby sends me an 'Login from new location' email that mentions the new IP address and my device information, this means Alby is keeping track of such things, why?

🚩 The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are mega long, and mention that Alby collects personal data, keep logs, and on a case-by-case basis, may pass them on to investigating authorities.

This isn't the Bitcoin way of doing things.
