Andy Yen's values are incompatible with Proton's mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.
Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.
If you're able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can't let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.
There's a Hetzner option. The server is super fucking cheap. They just give you a virtual slice of a VM and host up a nextcloud. That gives you storage and office apps. Move mail to tuta. Keepassx and syncthing for passwords. ( i would have said bitwarden, but they're in halloweentown at the moment too)
Honestly mail on Tuta is disappointing. It works nut it's very basic.
Rules have one option... send the mail to a folder, of which Trash is one. Can't forward, can't add tags or labels, can't even disable the new mail notification even if you send it to trash.
Want folders to only show up if there are unread messages? Not an option.
Calendar events... want a reminder? You get 6 choices (start, 5m, 10m, 30m, 1hr, 1 day). Want 15m or maybe 2hr? Sorry, too bad... no custom option.
Things work but it's very basic. I wished I'd researched a bit more before took my domain to it. I'll switch later.
Is there any truth to the rumors that Tuta is some backdoor intelligence operation or such?
