Though, I learned my lesson and bought my own domain. So this pivot should be better.

Basically any company that you give money to is going to be lead by arseholes. By definition. The only easy way is self hosting but that has its own difficulties. (And even then it’s still hosted by an arsehole)

I spent the day getting things set up to leave. Pass went to KeePass, which was easier than I expected. Drive is now replaced with Filen.io Standard Notes is now Obsidian Looking at AirVPN, but not ready to pull the trigger on that yet. Still looking for a calendar. Thunderbird has one but it’s not on mobile for some reason. The big one is mail. I was the same as you migrating from gmail so I’m learning my lesson now. Set up Thundermail today and have 3 custom domains set up. Spent hours today swapping out account emails. It’s rough, but I did it to myself. I knew going full Proton ecosystem was a bad idea, but at the time I just wanted out of Google. Take your time.

If I’d only put off de-googling a bit longer before I saw the news I could have skipped this hop. Oh well… I’m eyeballing Tuta. Anyone have other recommendations?

I canceled my renewal but I’be been putting off finding a replacement because what you said. It’s exhausting.

Yeah, it's taken me a similar time to migrate away from Gmail and I'm not keen to repeat the process. But if this is what Proton's code quality control is going to be like going forward - employees forced to push improperly-tested code because of their unhinged CEO - I'm going to have to go through the whole process again. Sigh.

Exact same situation with me. Going to start this weekend on self hosting email and then the transition process. I still have around 6 months left on my proton subscription, so enough time to move everything.

Same exact situation. In fact I’m not even fully done migrating away from Gmail although most of my stuff is on Proton now. sigh I guess I’m starting all over again soon.

Sorry, but you saying you’re tired after one switch is pretty funny. Many people here have gone through this several times for many different services etc. You have no idea what being tired actually means in this case.

Tuta is a good alternative. I am in the process of migrating there right now.
