Non-US alternatives to digital services
-
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

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. -

-
Hetzner support is usually quite good, something I can't say of the (albeit much more limited) experiences with OVH.
-
Not just that, but frankly for a company like Proton it's prudent to "cry along with the wolves, lest you get killed" ...
As long as Proton's products still stand on their own in the light of the Trump regime I don't think it is useful at all to torch the company because of remarks of its ceo now that Trump is in office...
Ofcourse one can frown and be miffed but there are far worse companies out there that everyone uses, and people shrug off direct comments of anyone on the board of directors.

Has the CEO explicitly mentioned he supports Nazis ?
I am already ahead of you & do have an alternative & it's called DisRoot
Somewhere along the line, you'll have to behave rationally. -
Adding to this, pipepipe (for YouTube) on f droid is amazing. Not sure where it's based but they do great work.

Hetzner is rock solid in my experience (and I run multiple server with them both for private and business use).
I really can't complain.I have my S3 backups at Ionos these days, they are also fairly large, only marginally more expensive and so far it's working well.
Their cloud/VPS service (the proper one,not the consumer one) is also decent and offers a few (rarely needed) options that Hetzner doesn't have. -

Wait why's it ironic? The UK is in Europe
