Looks like FM is proprietary (?), is based in a 5-eyes country, and has its servers in the US, but, uh, apart from that...?

Haven't tried Fastmail, but switched from Protonmail to Tutamail (because of Proton's ceo beein pro Trump). On Tutamail email arrive in an instant (like verify your email, mails etc), on Protonmail there always was a minute or two delay, sometimes longer.

    You switched email providers because the CEO made a positive comment about a Trump appointment?

    Sure. What will you do if the CEO of Tuta says something positive about a Trump appointment? Do you apply similarly stringent standards in every purchasing decision?

    More to the point, was what Andy Yen said really that bad?

    Well, I will cross that bridge when we get there. I can't do much, but I'll do what I can.

    The ones that involve my privacy and communications, yes where possible.

    Probably not. Its my money though.

    It's not a strong reason for sure, but I agree with them, just in principle. It sends a message.

    "We hate the guy that much that anything positive about him puts you in the bad list. We can acknowledge the sparse good things he did by chance once he is dead. Until then, don't you dare."
