The Proton owner is Trump-y. Tuta is another option

I can't go changing my email every time a ceo flips a switch and goes crazy. Your all gonna have to find something better than 'just try this other one'

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don't have to change any accounts.

Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)

I've been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I'll finally do it now.

You can have Google forward your emails while you move over your accounts

Self hosting then

Btw (sort of just thinking out loud) could paying for an email domain be a solution? I see many webhosts offering email + domain packages for like 1-3 GBP/month, and we could just download the emails into, say, Thunderbird, so if a company turns shit, we still have the domain and all the emails received/sent over the years.

Ive actually been thinking about doing something like this. Im tired of being forced to rely on some company’s computer

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Good luck getting people to pay for their own email setups let alone learn what it takes to host themselves and move said hosted setup around as the hosting service ceo's flip scripts.

It was a really stupidly worded comment on his part. If he meant Big Tech and Little Tech spwcifically rather than Big Business in general and individual people, his choice of words and the claim that the tables had "completely turned" are really unfortunate. Tagging the annoying orange directly also doesn't help make this look like it's about the pick, rather than the picker.

As an aside, forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm until I see her actually pull something through and not just end up another way to cripple ElMo's competition.
