Proton is seeming sketchier lately. What alternatives do y'all have in your back pocket? Especially for email, but really any part of the suite.

What happened with Proton?

Incredibly toxic CEO puts on a good face in public, but when a developer raised security and privacy questions (in a notoriously security and privacy focused company), the CEO publicly called him out, calling the idea “bullshit and loser thinking.” Further anecdotes came out from 9 current and former employees about the toxic culture.

“The CEO is in full AI psychosis and has been for a while now,” an employee is cited as saying.

That's really sad, but seems to be par for the course these days.

They REALLY need to oust the CEO...for starters.

More CEO foot in mouth problems.
