In an unexpected mask off "secure" email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton's services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let's collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇

Always try to provide:

-Server location (jurisdiction)

-Governance

-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

-Pricing and links

If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

i really don’t want to run my own email

I've done it before, professionally and personally, but I don't 'think' I want to do it again. But I also know that once it's set up, you can mostly forget about it other than maybe managing DKIM reports.

I think it's still probably prudent, at a minimum to pay for someone else who manages traffic relationships to handle upstream SMTP. You're already sending that out in the clear, everyone you're emailing is already mining and selling that data, there is no advantage to privacy there.
