Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit… anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I’m sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don’t even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren’t gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I’m not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I’m specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

    The ProtonMail CEO recently said that Trump “fights for the little guy”. I know that’s not a substantial critique of their privacy policy or encryption standards, but I wouldn’t trust a company that says something so baseless, divisive, and in support of a fascist oligarch.

      Honestly, I know this is entirely subjective, but I never liked the vibes from proton especially in the last year. I’m going to use my animal instincts and just avoid them.

      That said, I really need new email service so looking at options

        Agree. They’ve been very persistent to sell their paid plans, e.g. the first thing I see after logging in to Proton Mail is their pop-up ads.

      And frankly, even if he’s not a facist himself, the CEO saying something that fucking stupid makes me think that you shouldn’t trust him to run the slurpee machine at a 7-11, let alone something sensitive like your email.
