I think it's important to be pragmatic here. I'm (slowly) in the process of moving away from 'big tech' services where I can, but I still plan to use them where it makes sense (WhatsApp, Discord, YouTube).
I'm also evaluating e-mail for a small business and we might be going with Microsoft, even though I would never choose them for my personal e-mail (I left some comments on that topic recently).
Taking back our privacy is a noble quest, but I think it's bad to deal in absolutes.
- bpye 5y agoIf you want just an email provider I cannot recommend Fastmail enough. Entirely painless, just works and the web UI is fast.
- Tijdreiziger 5y agoFastmail looks great from a UX perspective, but the problem is that they store your e-mail in the US, which I don't want. I'm currently with Soverin, but I'm not completely satisfied with them. If anybody has recommendations for good email providers in the EU, I'm interested to hear them!
- jmnicolas 5y agoTechnically not the EU but Protonmail is in Switzerland.
- jmnicolas 5y agoI hear you, but if I surrender my site to Google, I will always have the risk of being banned for no reason. If I understand correctly the recent news I can't use Google analytics anyway (both my site and I live in France).
