From a practical standpoint, the country that hosts many digital services is undergoing rapid political change. For awareness of non-US alternatives, check out:

So proton is out these days right? Does anyone have thoughts on fastmail?

Tuta > Proton

Proton is still a great product.. easy to switch away from Google, especially if you don't have the time to self host or manage the complexity of 5 different services. I am aware of recent discussion, and have decided for myself that overreacting is not necessary, though that's up to you :)

Nowadays I half suspect any tech CEO to have some questionable mindset (to say the least). So it seems more important to me, what the company actually does. I hope everyone complaining about Proton now also does not use Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Apple products, and the list goes on. Their CEOs are definitely a lot worse.

You are an intelligent person, as long as the service is not impacted, well you good

Long time customer and super happy with Fastmail. Its a bit pricy but the service is great.

[–] subtext@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Yeah it could be argued that Fastmail is less private than alternatives, but they make a damn good service. Plus email shouldn’t be used for secure communication anyways.

Fastmail is really, really nice.

I went over to purelymail, but it's in .us

It's not fancy encrypted like proton, but it's very affordable and straight forward to set up for your own domains.

I joined Fastmail almost a month ago and am really enjoying it, I especially like the integrated masked emails.
