Best calendar solution? (piefed.social)

So I’ve tried Proton Mail and it’s… not a great user experience. I’m looking for a good calendar specially that works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS. I want to be able to manage my work calendar through it (which is a Google account) and then a personal calendar which is hosted by this new service.

Privacy is important but I’m just trying to avoid major companies like Google. I’ve been trying out Fastmail so far and I think is pretty good and while not as secure as Proton it’s got the usability I’m looking for.

Just wondering if anyone else out there has a recommendo for me before I cancel my proton subscription and commit to Fastmail?

I used to work for them, and unless you use GPG on all your emails, they can read everything you send (or could as of 2020). As for the rest of their apps, I'm fairly certain those are encrypted at rest, though I do recall having to comply with an Aussie government investigation notice. They're also downright scornful of people who point out the issues with their privacy practices.

    So overall would you suggest to not use their service and put up with the pain points of proton?

    I do still use it, but if you're after privacy I'd only trust it if you use GPG. If I remember correctly, they do run a key exchange server for it, and I never saw a way to use that to read encrypted email, but be aware that you're completely in the clear if you don't. The email mask feature is most of the reason I'm still there though.
