I've cancelled my subscription yesterday, conveniently it was about to renew at the end of the week, so I have a few days to migrate from Proton, here's what I'm thinking of, but I'd love to hear what other people are switching to

Proton has had very bad press past week. In case you missed it, an article came out exposing an internal work culture that very much did not match up with what customers were being sold, including potentially sidelining security to prioritize speed of development of new features.

you're preaching to the choir -- i stopped trusting them when their ceo needlessly voiced support for ttrump and i shared my comment because i've been experiencing the downvotes/anger from the proton brigade on lemmy for it.
