Moving away from gmail is one thing, but Proton's CEO is a massive cunt that I wouldn't personally trust anymore. I have an ongoing subscription for some of their services (including email, but I don't really use it), and I'm going to move on from there after the subscription expires.

Survey shows Gmail users would gladly sacrifice features for more privacy

The ONLY reason I'm on Proton mail is because My Bank insists on it.
Your bank wanrs proton?
Yes. Because they have "secure" in the name. 🙄
If users want privacy, then they should have never used gmail in the first place.
Did you read the title the wrong way round? Or should I read the article?
Host your own email server, that’s the point of email
But in reality, email is a good example of why you shouldn’t use federated services
