In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇

Always try to provide:

-Server location (jurisdiction)

-Governance

-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

-Pricing and links

If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

    I keep a single domain for distnct emails. It’s not anonymous in the sense that anyone with half a brain could put 2+2 together and figure out who I am. It’s highly useful for three reasons: If I suddenly get junk mail on a specific email, I tell my server to deposit them in in the bit bucket. Next, the algorithms aren’t necessarily smart so having a different email for every login a) makes it harder to profile me, and b) it’s more secure. Hackers will waste a server month trying to open my lemmy email in all the money stores.
