FallenWalnutI had enough of big tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible
I think a lot of these guides could use more in-depth companion guides to go along with it. Changing your email provider for one is not a simple thing and there are concerns like loss of functionality (Gmail is a good product run by a shit company) and also how to make the process less overwhelming. Some services will give you the option to migrate all your emails from Gmail but maybe you want to start fresh, etc. Then there’s going to all of your providers and updating your contact email. Again, not as simple as signing up for another service.
I have started on that with a small intro section for most sections (still adding). An example is email purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email, but I understand that an even more in-depth guide is warranted.
Thanks for making these! The mix of thorough structured data and qualitative disclaimers is so useful.
I’ve been curious about Infomaniak because I haven’t seen much about it until recently. Is “Open Source” the main reason Tuta and Proton are on the infographic instead?
I tried to limit it to 3-4 per section, and the email category was already so full - no specific reason. That said, I’ve since learned that Tuta’s free tier is a bit limited, so I might actually switch to Infomaniak Mail instead.
I use Infomaniak for my email and cloud storage.
They’re great, but lately their Linux app has had problems.
When I reported it, they were really efficient and friendly.
Also their data centers are heating buildings where I live.
I would always recommand them as they offer really good prices too.
hansoloYou can always forward emails? All email providers (yes even the shit ones) offer this for free while you migrate from one email account to another
