Since Andy Yen's unfortunate comments, have any of you left Proton? And if so, what alternative did you choose? (lemmy.ml)

I was looking at Proton for mail and calendar right around the time the Andy thing kicked off. I hadn’t yet pulled the trigger on Proton due to their fairly high pricing. I ultimately decided on Tuta for mail and calendar, and I have no issues using their native/desktop apps. I am still forwarding everything from my Gmail account as I slowly work through changing my email on key services. So far so good.

The one issue I had with Tuta is no ability to import mail unless you are at the highest priced tier. I’m on the middle one so no import. What I did instead was just download a copy of my Gmail to an MBOX file, and I have that on my desktop and access it with Thunderbird (read only) as needed. This was fine for me as I don’t have much mail of significance.

Switching was a small action, but one that made me feel immediately better, like I did something concrete in opposition to the rapidly enshittifying tech universe.

I've been using Fastmail for over 10 years now and I love it. I haven't seen it mentioned a single time as an alternative.

Unfortunately stuck with them for VPN (don't use any other service from them) . Lꝏking for alternatives with port forwarding . Welcome to hear suggestions

I've been using AirVPN for the past few years and don't have any complaints.

It is around $5/mo and offers port forwarding.

I have an account there that I use as a junk email account and their android calendar app. Nothing else. I used to use davx5 and caldav via my primary email provider but I had issues with it losing notification settings on recurring events. I may go look for a different calendar solution. I'll probably still use it for junk mail.

I use the following services, and have for a couple years now I think.

Mailfence for email Mullvad for VPN

Just uninstalled the app.

If I’m honest I did use it much because my friends mostly don’t encrypt emails.

I did manage to get them all on to Signal, so mostly use that for comms now.

Still use Gmail for email because I’m a corpo bootlicker like my friends.
