This is a great point. We spend so much time naval gazing on the best platform for our side, but what about the other side? Might as well use any old service and encrypt your private comms specifically. Yes it’s effort to encrypt but I think it’s the best compromise of privacy without housing your own mailserver

I feel like every email post is a “don’t use platform x” and there are very few (if any?) universally well received services out there. In which case the community will probably just give up and go back to Google.

We probably need a tier chart or something to add perspective. Proton have made dumb decisions recently but they’re still better than Google/Microsoft
