Sometimes I think bullying is necessary; tourists who litter should be bullied, and that one dude in the comments who doesn't click links.

PeerTube seems fine for a YT alternative (only because it's pretty much either it or Odysee, that's what happens when you have an effective monopoly on user-generated content like YT does, and PeerTube IMO needs to take off sooner rather than later given how ridiculous YT's censorship has gotten lately), and then of course Lemmy (this platform) is looking really good so far as a Reddit alternative and I've only been on it for a day now, ditto for Pixelfed as an Instagram alternative.
And then of course there's Mastodon for a Twitter/Facebook alternative.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an S3 provider? I'm looking at Hetzner and OVH.

https://makertube.net/ is the PeerTube instance that I've been using, and it's been great.

I joined Fastmail almost a month ago and am really enjoying it, I especially like the integrated masked emails.

Yeah it could be argued that Fastmail is less private than alternatives, but they make a damn good service. Plus email shouldn’t be used for secure communication anyways.

Proton is still a great product.. easy to switch away from Google, especially if you don't have the time to self host or manage the complexity of 5 different services.
I am aware of recent discussion, and have decided for myself that overreacting is not necessary, though that's up to you -

I went over to purelymail.
It's not fancy encrypted like proton, but it's very affordable and straight forward to set up for your own domains.

I think OVH would be a good choice.

You are an intelligent person, as long as the service is not impacted, well you good

Moderation is actually good on Matrix, also XMPP is a good alternative as well

Nowadays I half suspect any tech CEO to have some questionable mindset (to say the least). So it seems more important to me, what the company actually does.
I hope everyone complaining about Proton now also does not use Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Apple products, and the list goes on. Their CEOs are definitely a lot worse. -

Tuta > Proton

A good post to mention [email protected].

The only downside is that Tuta doesn't provide an
.onion
service as Proton does (although they leak clearnet links left and right)... even though they apparently plan to. -

"Who cares if I helped fund the Nazi party, I got good value out of it!"
I'm not saying Proton are Nazis. I'm not saying the CEO is a Nazi. However, when someone shows you their true colours, believe them. He has a positive view of Trump, a known racist, rapist, and con-man. Just because the product is good doesn't mean it's okay to pay for it when you know that money helps to pay a Trump fan.
This is the worldwide web, there are many alternatives.

Hetzner support is usually quite good, something I can't say of the (albeit much more limited) experiences with OVH.
