I used to be curious about switching to proton

    I was literally about to do it when that one Proton exec started sucking off Trump on Twitter, and then I changed my mind.

    That's why I went with NordVPN

    Yeah i had started to move over, set up an email account, started to sign up to things through that instead of my existing account, but now I've mostly given up sadly. Better the devil i know for the time being when the cost of time to switch everything over is a lot, ideally I'd want to do it only once. What other alternatives do we have other than selfhosting? As I'd rather not selfhost my own mail server.

    I've been checking out fastmail because they're pushing JMAP and I love me some new standards

    I got fastmail about a year ago. I was pleased I could turn off SMS 2FA and use only TOTP, and generating masked single-use email addresses is great. Also surprisingly easy to set up the MX record for my existing domain. Their own web client is good, I'm using FairEmail on Android.

    You can just buy your own domain and put the relevant dns records to forward it to any service that supports it (generally costs some money though). Then if the service enshittifies you just need to change the dns records. No need to go the full selfhosting route.

    I use tuta for that, haven't had issues so far and also don't think I've heard anything bad.

    I have a similar story, except that I didn't go back to my old gmail account after ditching Proton. Instead I bought myself a domain and went for a web hosting service.

    I recommend getting your own domain as it means you can change email providers without and big issue down the road. I picked a stupid host at first, and changed to Hetzner later. No inconvenience at all, and even keeping my inbox was easy.
