I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I'm switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren't accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.

Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won't send red flags to my more official accounts?

If it helps, I'm US-based.

I must be out of the loop. What’s the issue with Proton?

    Same. No idea what OP is talking about and I'm usually up to speed on stuff. Nobody has answered either so it's probably an old article from a couple months ago about that cia inquiry or whatever (can't recall). Idk what else. They always have a bad rep here, but it's better than pretty much everything else, minus maybe a few one-offs.

    There is absolutely no evidence for it. He went to lobby in DC, and apparently, some GOP folks had time for him but Dems didn't. Could have been the opposite on different day based on several factors.

    Then recently, the marketing firm they hired put a sponsorship on a far right guy's video. They accepted full accountability for the mistake and said they would change procedures to get those being sponsored vetted appropriately.

    Neither one of these are evidence of being MAGA. You can personally lobby in DC and find an individual of an opposite party who might have interest in your message. Just because Grainger played a commercial during satanic music videos doesn't mean they are Dimmu Borgir fans. It just means people who listen to metal need tools too.

    They guy might be a fascist dick for all I know. I'm just saying that the situations above do not indicate that it is the case. In fact, fascists typically never admit fault or accept accountability for anything. The only concern for me is that he was lobbying in the US at all, but that is the only way you can get your case heard sometimes if you need politicians to hear a different side of an argument.

    @mrnngglry@sh.itjust.works proton keeps publicly dog whistling fascists/maga and -- hopefully -- by accident.

    that's how it started and it escalated to proton itself paying a french fascist to make a video a few days ago.

    I think they sponsored a right-wing French Youtuber, but they publicly apologised and said they didn't know his political alignment.
