I had enough of big US tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible (europe.pub)

I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Site - https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/
Code - https://codeberg.org/purchase-with-purpose/pwp-website
Community - https://lemmy.world/c/PurchaseWithPurpose

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

What are the pros and cons when comparing Proton Mail and Tuta

[–] whosepoopisonmybuttocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

In my opinion, both services seem usable for free, anonymous, web based email, but the proton mail CEO made some alarming political comments in support of conservatives and Donald trump. I would prefer that a company stay apolitical when a major appeal of their product is supposedly privacy.

I haven't used either directly, but the best I can offer is the category page, which does try to give some indication of this. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/

It sort of comes down to whether you like a singular-focused email service vs a full-fledged ecosystem.
