I’d like to move off from the shackles of the Google menace and transferring my Gmail related accounts over including steam but I’d like some solid advice of any well regarded and better alternatives (including open source if that is possible)

I did search but was unsure of what was best as I did hear some shoddy things about Proton.

Do you know anything that could be the “aegis 2fa” of email providers?

Thank you and have a good day/night.

    Proton has a business model where they want the user to put their eggs all in one basket. If you want that kind of userbase you need to leave your personal politics out of it. The problem isn’t that the CEO is right wing. It’s that he is very publicly right wing. And lastly supports a known huckster. All of this calls into question just for how long Proton will be secure before they are selling user info to the state. https://proton.me/legal/law-enforcement

    Politics are very fucking important in terms of security for whistleblowers and dissidents. They are the canaries in the coalmine as far as personal liberties go.
