@nileane

i switched from gmail to proton mail for specifically that reason 😒

who do you recommend I switch to now?
how do we know they won't go the same direction?

@McWabbit @nileane @Tutanota

so everybody,

we start w/ an offer of "i have no experience w/ them" advocation for using Tuta instead of proton mail

does anyone have a counteroffer as an alternative to proton mail?

@WorldTravelerAll7 @nileane @Tutanota Sorry, intended to be of help, but should have done a bit more effort and research it all for you.

Have a nice day.

@McWabbit

i very much appreciate the discussion of this

i find it quite frustrating to have to change from one platform to another

& every time i learn of a new platform, someone disparages them

did you know that the number of bots creating content on the internet now exceeds the number of humans?

the discussion you've broached is of help. thank you. and don't relent!

@McWabbit @nileane @Tutanota

meanwhile, i'll sit here w/ my proton email account. i won't know whether it is run by fascists trying to destroy the "resistance" or impotent

most people sell their data to "Tim Apple" w/o even understanding what they are selling

but here i sit wondering whether the "safe" "encrypted" email provider i chose actually protects my data. or if some nefarious actor attempts to besmirch its character to gain providence

i hate this crap

@WorldTravelerAll7 Proton has shown time and time again to be unreliable. Plus, they have a big corpo mentality, trying to give you all the app at once Google style, and that inevitably leads to downfalls.

Tuta does one thing and they do it well. Email. They advocate and fight for privacy all the time, they don't comply with the governement, they're way more transparent that Proton on all they do.

What to do/use is your choice, the important thing is making it an informed decision.
