Over the past year I've switched from Google search to DDG; Google Maps to Apple Maps; Chromecast to Apple TV+; and Drive to Dropbox. I've held off on switching away from Gmail, but I'm switching to something else tonight. Suggestions welcome.
By the way, not that I would support this at all (since I believe in free speech), but any idea if any speeches from Putin or Xi, or official government accounts from either country have been banned from Twitter or YouTube et. al. like our own US President's social media accounts were? I'm guessing not likely, given that they've really done nothing about ISIS accounts in the past, or posts from those on the "left" side of the culture wars calling for and supporting outright violence in US cities or against individuals.
- adamhearn 5y agoProtonmail or fastmail are my go to hosted mail providers.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI pay for fastmail and iCloud+ email now that it is included in the monthly bundle.
- k2enemy 5y agoA common suggestion, and one that I myself chose, is Fastmail. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Fairly inexpensive, fast, and great tools for using a custom domain (which I also highly recommend).
- lliamander 5y agoHow do you choose a name for a custom domain?

- bmarquez 5y agoFrequently mentioned email providers on HN: Fastmail, Protonmail, Zoho, iCloud+, MS 365. Search for the HN submissions reporting on G Suite for even more ideas.
- samtheprogram 5y agoI personally use ProtonMail but have been looking at FastMail or Hey.com because the encryption on ProtonMail can be cumbersome for setting up external email clients.
- heavyset_go 5y ago> I'm guessing not likely, given that they've really done nothing about ISIS accounts in the past This is inaccurate. The precedent for removing extremist content was set in the late 2000s when Facebook, Google, and Twitter started massive campaigns to investigate, report and remove Islamic extremist content on their platforms. A lot of legitimate non-extremist Islamic content and users got caught up in the censorship. I didn't hear anything about it from free speech absolutists, though.

- mackrevinack 5y agoi use (and pay for) protonmail myself. then main reason i chose it was because it has a free tier, so if i ever miss a payment or can't pay for some reason, i can still send and receive email. if it wasn't for that reason i would probably just go with fastmail
