    I feel like every email post is a "don't use platform x" and there are very few (if any?) universally well received services out there. In which case the community will probably just give up and go back to Google.

    We probably need a tier chart or something to add perspective. Proton have made dumb decisions recently but they're still better than Google/Microsoft

    I dont hope to find a secure email platform anymore. If i have some info i want to protect i can encrypt it myself before sending, or send it via some secure instant messaging like signal. Email is too hard to make secure, and in he end of the day, the other person youre talking to probably has a gmail or something. Its not worth the hassle imo. There are other ways to have secure communication, outside emails.

    This is a great point. We spend so much time naval gazing on the best platform for our side, but what about the other side? Might as well use any old service and encrypt your private comms specifically. Yes it's effort to encrypt but I think it's the best compromise of privacy without housing your own mailserver

    it's good to keep secure communications separate anyways, so you don't accidentally send the secret message to the wrong place or without the security measures.

    i don't get why people want it in the same place as their fucking gaming chats, imagine sending state secrets to #fursuit-showoff because you didn't notice which specific channel you're in

    I've been using Posteo for years and don't have any complaints.

    self host. you can get great deals on domains and have whatever you want. Hell in many cases you can get free domains with hosting. my domain is a .ca (i'm Canadian) and I got it free for 2 years with a hosting plan that costs me $50 a year. So I'm already saving over Proton, It's local to me, and I can have unlimited accounts and bandwidth. I also use it to host my portfolio site.

    Then I also have my own home server which I use for VPN, Backups, Bitwarden, Git Repos, torrents/media, even have my own searx search engine on it.
