      I'm searching for a safe and cheap alternative for my own domain, but it's hard! And I don't want to give money to American companies.

      Tuta is €3.60 a month or €3 a month if you pay for an entire year (€36) not sure if that's "cheap" in your budget.

      A .com domain is like $12 per year

      Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.

      I have only been using Tuta for like a month, still not sure if I'm staying tho...

      There's also Mailbox.org which is also about €3 a month, which doesn't have encryption by default and they don't have an official opensource client. (Tuta has their client on F-Droid)

        This might sound crazy but this is way worse to me than the CEO simping for orange man. At least for Trump he has a semi plausible excuse.

        Reposting stuff on Mastodon or Bluesky barely requires any additional effort. And I cannot think of a good reason to close abandon the free publicity when they already have it set up.

        Yea this is worse. The politics thing could be brushed off as Andy Yen being uneducated on American politics. Moving away from an already established fediverse platform is contradictory to Proton's mission. It doesn't take more than a minute to copy paste their xitter posts to Mastadon.

          They have tools that let you cross-post effortlessly, so that’s strange.

            tell me why they left mastodon and bluesky

            1. They didn't leave BlueSky
            2. The lack of an explanation is not an explanation.

            gimme a good reason that isn't him being a Nazi

            That wouldn't even be a good reason if it were true.

                PCMag seems to endorse it.

                Tuta Mail is free for personal use, though you must accept a few limitations. The free edition lets you send and receive all the secure messages you want, and it includes a secure calendar. Searching encrypted email is limited—with the free edition, you can only search messages up to a month old. Paying 36 euros per year for a Revolutionary subscription ($38.65 as of this writing) removes that search limitation, lets you have multiple calendars, and adds features including filtering rules and 15 alias email addresses (more about those later). It also raises the storage for your messages from 1GB to 20GB.

                  I'll sometimes agree with stuff Trump does too, like appointing Tulsi Gabbard, but I'm not going to say this means Republicans have become the party of anti war lol

                  What's good about the Tulsi Gabbard here? Unless you just mean she (like all the Trump appointees) is the worst person for the job and it'll make the country collapse faster lol

                      They have port forwarding, but they were bought by a company that has been caught stuffing malware into their software. That scandal was years ago, but the corporate buyout left a sour taste in many people’s mouths. If a company has previously been caught burying malware into their software, would you trust them with anything installed on your computer?

                        I think the reason is that every time they post something, someone there points out the Andy Yen thing. Thats basically the only comments. So its detrimental to their business.

                            Mailbox.org located in Germany and run by Peer Heinlein. You can use your own Domain with it just fine

                              Sure sure. The guy who unprompted endorsed a trump appointment that has deep US Telco ties, bizarrly said "the GOP is the party for the little guy," had nothing but wonderful things to say about J.D vance, stated that Chuck Schumer slow rolled 2 internet privacy bills because of "quid pro quo" with his daughters working for big tech, used the phrase "triggered" unprompted, and just randomly added "88" to the end of his new user name.

                              Yeah, that guy is just neutral and disillusioned with the Democratic party.

                              It wasn't unprompted - he was literally replying to the announcement of the appointment on Twitter. An announcement of a person he thought would be great for a role that he's apparently been advocating for action against big tech in for years.

                              He's born in 1988 you dolt.

                              The ugliest thing about Lemmy I've noticed so far is that it enjoys disinformation just as much as Reddit - as long as it fits the circlejerk, updoots this way.

                                  She was pro Assad when no one else was, which I was a fan of, and of course she's also probably very bad for the national intelligence apparatus. That's not even accelerationism, they're just fucking evil and need to be destroyed along with other spookery.

                                    I'm well aware of the foundation, and the fact that they have left him on the board with zero consequences or controls.

                                    Stating your ethics and then not enforcing them makes the statement pointless.

                                    If your want to be hard headed about this, that's your problem.

                                    Yan isn't the only guy on the board of directors. The others are pretty fucking credible and knowledgeable people on the topic of privacy. They all make the decisions togetherness. And im pretty certain they'll have the last word and steer Proton in the right direction.

                                      "State your ethics and then stand by them" is being hard headed?

                                      When the above is a bar too high for you to reach, that's a you problem, mate.

                                          It wasn't unprompted - he was literally replying to the announcement of the appointment on Twitter. An announcement of a person he thought would be great for a role that he's apparently been advocating for action against big tech in for years.

                                          He's born in 1988 you dolt.

                                          The ugliest thing about Lemmy I've noticed so far is that it enjoys disinformation just as much as Reddit - as long as it fits the circlejerk, updoots this way.

                                          Huh, I noticed you cherry picked two things to try to refute and ignored all the others I listed like his fandom for J.D vance while endlessly criticizing chuck Schumer, his statement that the GOP "was there for the little guy," his use of the term "triggered" to describe offending someone. Go on, keep excusing all the clear MAGA mask on indicators.

                                          How about you give those a shot too before you whine about disinfo?
