In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇

Always try to provide:

-Server location (jurisdiction)

-Governance

-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

-Pricing and links

If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

    …88 is a red flag. Generally that’s a bad number.

      Not really outside of the west. He’s Taiwanese i believe and 88 is considered fairly auspicious

        Ah, okay. That makes sense. (Fwiw I’ve seen fascist types use 88 and 1488 outside the US, too. “88” is technically German. It can have begin meaning outside the US/The West in general, though.)
