Proton. Because i know how to read, and people had twisted the CEOs words completely beyond what was written. Reading ‘and’ comprehension folks. Try to build both skills.

Anyone who has a different opinion than mine is necessarily an idiot

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 6 points 6 days ago

He supports nazis. I don't care why.

That's not the right mindset, but he really did say positive things that were simply not true about Trump's party in the wake of current-ish events.

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 3 points 6 days ago

Why is nazis=bad the wrong mindset? Its been good enough for most people for 100 years.

The problem is, the person saying "these guys are nazis" could be simply lying.

A good example is Putin funding nazis everywhere in ex-USSR since around 2005, then managing to get Europeans to think the Ukrainian freedom movement was somehow a nazi movement even though the prevalence of right-wing extremism was growing until 2014 just like in the Russia and started decreasing in 2014, while it kept rising in the Russia and Russia-controlled areas such as Crimea.

If the Russia was to gain control over Ukraine, the prevalence of right wing extremist attacks would start growing again like it did until 2014. And yet, a lot of Europeans, especially in Germany, are opposing Ukraine because of the "these guys are nazis, nazis=bad mindset. Nazis are bad. It's just important to understand that someone accusing someone of being a nazi doesn't mean that the someone actually is a nazi.

The mindset has caused large parts of Ukraine to fall under circumstances that cause there to be more fascism. Anti-fascism has ended up promoting fascism in this case.

I have not read about what Proton's owners have said and will delve into that now. But my experience, having lived in Ukraine in 2015 and 2016 and in Germany between 2008 and 2010 (and still having good friends there), is that many are eager to jump on a bandwagon of lynching an accused nazi, even if the accuser himself is a nazi and the accused is not.

It is ugly seeing precisely those who would be needed for fighting fascism work as errand boys for fascists.

Happy proton user here too. For 5 years already 😊

[-] borusa@feddit.uk 12 points 6 days ago

I've had a proton account since 2016 but be er really used it much. I am now using it as my main account and have mothballed Gmail but will eventually delete Google altogether.

Mailbox.org for me

I've migrated some stuff but lots still to update.

I'm on the lowest tier and only have the 3 aliases, I think it may be worth using multiple aliases from what I keep reading online, so may need to upgrade tier before I migrate more accounts.

I have gone one step further and started a an email provider. Hosted in Frankfurt, backup in Amsterdam.

Custom domain Webmail, IMAP, pop, all with TLS obviously Calendar, tasks, contacts sync all in one, all Foss solutions. Anti spam, anti virus

Haven't figured out how to sell that yet, or at what price, but I'm working on that. XD

Mailbox.org

[-] Tekktical@lemmy.wtf 5 points 6 days ago

Posteo here 🙋‍♂️

[-] przemek@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Onet, a Polish news website. I used it for my first ever e-mail and since then I have been using it kind of out of habit. Never felt a need to switch to something more robust.

Of course I have a gmail account too, but I use it mostly for things like logins and synchronization rather than for correspondence.

[-] hall72@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Tutmail for me. 15 email addresses included..

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 6 points 6 days ago

Mailbox. For the imap support.

[-] mts711@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

I switched to Proton too

[-] sinnsykfinbart@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Proton, but I don’t think they can justify their monthly price for «premium» features.

[-] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Same here, some features kinda pointless. Like why would I ever need 10 email addresses on one account?

[-] TerraRoot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Imfomaniak for me, not sure if it was the best choice, but at least I made a move.

[-] Brewchin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

There's a world outside the US/European false dichotomy.

I've been with Fastmail since 2019 and you couldn't pay me to go elsewhere. 🤷‍♂️

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Not everyone wants their backdoors to be legally authorized. 🇦🇺

[-] guismo@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Australian here happy with Runbox, from an european country that respects privacy, unlike the 5 eyes. Unfortunately Australia is not a good country to get a cloud service.

[-] einsfuenfzigbreit@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Switched to Posteo about a decade ago

[-] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 days ago

I created an account with Tuta. But I haven't found time for the actual migration

[-] nevermind@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Mailo.

[-] ndupont@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

I stick to my state owned ISP
