Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit... anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I'm sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don't even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren't gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I'm not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I'm specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

I really can't speak on the security or data privacy of it, since I'm not knowledgeable enough in these topics, but I pay 1€ per month for Port87. I just love the ability to easily create sub-adresses and never have to worry about my "main adresses" receiving the spam I get for e.g. online shopping

ProtonMail is run by a non profit foundation based in Switzerland. It's also end to end encrypted

Protonmail. I have over 25 different online accounts/identities (each one for a different topic gaming, movies, music, coding etc.), all Protonmail based.

Absolutely. But one thing I didn't like was it locked me from using Proton services (even free plan) once my premium plan ran out until I paid $6 cancelation fee BS.

Proton is run by a fascist. Its only a matter of time until they too will Start sucking Trumps balls

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

look up what fascist means dumbass, it's more than just someone you disagree with.

do you know of alternative? I wanted to leave them because of this but found they most other options were not as close as good.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

LOL. Proton is absolutely not run by a fascist. You should learn what fascism is and what they do. Proton CEO is way WAY more tame than actual fascists. It's actually not even close IMO.

he is at least a very dumb person if he believes Trump sides against bigtech

Tutanota or disroot.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

i currently use tuta. it has a free tier, offers encryption, is open source, gdpr-compliant, and is 100% powered by green energy.

i have used mailbox in the past, which is paid (cheapest tier is ~€12/yr). i can recommend it as well.
