Edit: I made a mistake, I meant to add Mailfence instead of Fastmail, but forgot to update both the icon and text
Hey everyone, here's a follow up to my previous post, I tried to summarize all your suggestions and these are the options I have for the main Proton products I've been using.
I removed Bitwarden based on your feedback (basically they're enshittifying).
I'm not including Tuta, because I dislike their UX/UI, also they seem to not apply their LLM policy to their own devs.
I'm not including Mullvlad, because of one of the founder's donation to a far right political party in Sweden, said founder has a blog post to justify this, which links to another blog post where he claims to be a libertarian anarchist which is just another word for Ancaps which is a dealbreaker for me.
A lot of people recommended using one's own domain for email stuff, I forgot to mention I do have a custom domain, which will make migrating a lot easier indeed. Just need to update my accounts credentials.
Let me know what you think!
We used to enjoy using Proton, but over time, it began to resemble a large, impersonal corporation. Moves like the introduction of a "workspace" plan or tendencies toward monopolization are clear indicators of this. Switching to Disroot—a far superior alternative—has been invaluable for us; Disroot truly values its users. Although they are experiencing some issues at the moment, it’s not a major concern—every system encounters problems from time to time, and we are fully confident that these will be resolved soon. We highly recommend Disroot as an alternative to Proton; it is, in a word, a fantastic service.
Not a great sign when searching for the app results in this:
You are absolutely right, but the situation is clear; no matter how angry you may be, this is not an issue that can be easily resolved. Please reconsider after some time has passed; this situation causes us a great deal of distress as well, and I am truly sorry for what has happened.
This reads like an ad from LinkedIn
It’s definitely LLM generated
This is not an advertisement; it is simply a genuine, long-term user experience.
