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.

In short, they can but it won't be encrypted.

Whereas if every tuta account had a pgp key and they had a keyserver so anyone could download a given tuta account's pgp public key, then anyone with pgp (eg anyone at proton) could send you an encrypted email, and it would "just work".
