What's a good alternative to Proton? (piefed.social)

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.

It normally is a lot of hassle. I tried to make it very easy with Port87.

I mostly mean the human side of it. Even without something like that the alias part was fine, it was not remembering which one I used when asked in person. Or family members being unable to remember my email because the answer wasn't the same one time.

I understand why the idea is appealing, I'm just putting it out there for anyone else reading that the human element is a cost I hadn't considered when I started. Personally I don't have enough of a spam problem to warrant committing to it.
