I’d like to move off from the shackles of the Google menace and transferring my Gmail related accounts over including steam but I’d like some solid advice of any well regarded and better alternatives (including open source if that is possible)

I did search but was unsure of what was best as I did hear some shoddy things about Proton.

Do you know anything that could be the “aegis 2fa” of email providers?

Thank you and have a good day/night.

    I’ll vouch for Proton. The recent controversy wasn’t great but it’s also a single negative incident for a company that has otherwise had a pretty stellar track record. I recommend reading his responses in the reddit AMA he did after the incident. I still think he’s a fool, but I don’t think he’s fascist or that there’s any reason at all to doubt the privacy, security, or direction of the company, which is both partly open source and regularly audited.

    I’ve been using ProtonMail for probably around 7 years now and it’s been great.

      Lots of Lemmy is reactionary. I mean, they’re on lemmy, so they’re generally going to be the quickest to jump ship on anything. I don’t think his takes are bad either tbh - They’ve still proven themselves to be quite reliable.
