You’re really going to recommend Gmail over Proton? Let’s keep it sane here…
“As an alternative to Gmail” is the start of the whole thing, it’s assumed they’re moving away from Gmail
Outlook is better than Proton?
Outlook is not an email provider. That’s twice you’ve said that. Are you sure you want in this conversation?
WTF are you talking about? Outlook is exclusively an email provider? Are you sure you want in this conversation?
Telling their employees to use more AI.
Telling their employees not using AI is loser thinking.
They’ve become very political, siding with the far right, actively ignoring community concerns (see the recent petition deletions) and still, while they E2EE your email contents, they do not encrypt headers and a lot of other metadata. It’s been long a concern among the funny hat communities that they are a possible honeypot as well.
Is it better than gmail? Be honest.
while they E2EE your email contents, they do not encrypt headers and a lot of other metadata.
No email provider encrypts headers nor metadata but Tuta. And even Tuta does not encrypt mail addresses nor date of message sent or received - as these are necessary to deliver a mail at all.
To avoid metadata use e.g. Signal instead of e-mail.
Almost anything that’s not owned by big corporations. Tutanota for example.
I'd have to go against Tuta, as they've been called out numerous times for posting outright lies about their competition on social media. They fabricated a chainmail-style "announcement" from Google announcing a Gmail shutdown date, saying that you should move to Tuta mail. I called them out on this, and they deleted the post shortly after, saying that they "didn't fact-check the lead that was sent to them", even though their post was the earliest existing copy of that fake announcement I could find, suggesting that they created the fake document, themselves.
If they're willing to lie about something so banal, they're willing to lie about something important. I don't trust them, and I certainly won't give them my money.
“chainmail-style”
No. No no no no no. Chainmail is armor. Chainmail-style is fucking gibberish in this context.
Proton mail. It’s the only one I’ve managed to switch to successfully
Gotta support that right wing ideology, right?
Is it better than gmail? That was the question.
What’s the point of proton mail? You don’t own the keys, you are stuck with their app because they don’t support open protocols, they basically lock you in because of no open protocols, and it’s run by a fascist asshole. Basically any mail provider with encryption on arrival with your own public key is a better alternative.
Is it better than gmail?
You can have open protocols or you can have encryption. You can’t have both. Or alternatively you can use the mail bridge they provide.
Most emails will arrive unencrypted on proton and will leave unencrypted.
Lots of mail providers support GPG encrypting emails on arrival which is functionally the same as what proton does, with the exception their software never sees your private key.
And with open protocols you can make also send encrypted emails if both sides care about it.
Hahahaha good one
Anything but Proton
