    I think they are trustworthy and the sexy alternative to Gmail. I’ve been testing both Proton and Tuta as my replacement. Proton is more expensive, but provides more services. Tuta is smaller, cheaper and gives off a user centric vibe. Proton seems to be emulating bigtech a bit too much with their release of a privacy chatbot today. I’m personally leaning towards keeping Tuta over Proton.





















  • It was a lot of work. I had the benefit of having time off and recovering from spinal fusion to make this happen. I deleted many of my accounts that I used gmail for logins. My gmail address that people have had for years is now forwarding to my custom domain. For YouTube I’ve been using PeerTube and not using YouTube at all.

    Meta is hard as I manage pages for work, but I currently have no friends which caused my wife to get messages from friends asking if we were getting divorced 🤣. I’ve brought my wife, sister and mom over to Signal so far by SMS is difficult to get people to change. I just cancled my Whatsapp account and if people want to connect they can reach out.
