Looking to leave GMAIL and am currently testing Proton for a $1 a month. So far it’s pretty good and the issue I have is not with Proton, but with who I’m sending messages to. If I send an email to a gmail account my information is still sitting on a Google server. So is Proton worth it? Is something like Fastmail just as good over all due to how email works? With Fastmail I can get email for my whole family for $14 a month. I won’t have the VPN, ProtonPASS and other Proton apps, but are they worth the $12 a month for one person?
In my opinion… Screw email. I’m done with both email and phone numbers. Both are for garbage purposes only… Government, pay notifications, school or work notifications. Total fucking garbage. Those fuckos want an email, just give them one.
For your family and friends use simplex instead. I gave it a serious try and it works. Anyone else can go screw themselves, here’s my gmail, toss your garbage into it because that’s what that’s for. For your friends and family again use simplex.
