I fairly recently migrated the entire family to Protonmail in order to get away from Google.

But just as I was getting everything running smoothly, now Protonmail is taking a plunge down the enshittification rabbithole. First it was ai garbage, and now it's bitcoin. As @davidgerard said in his recent blog post, they do email wrll. How about continuing to do so?

As I'm getting older I'm having less and less patience for this garbage. Despite having pre-paid for the family plan for 2 years, I will not stay on a service that has decided to commit to enhittifying their product line. What should I switch to? At this point, cost isn't really a problem.

@loke if you want end to end encrypted email like proton (where proton can't read your emails), the only real other option is @Tutanota

Just know that, just like proton, you are limited to their website/apps (proton has a bridge software you can install but that's only realistic on pc's)

Tuta

@thibaultmol @loke Hi there, you can send end-to-end encrypted emails to non-Tuta users by sharing a password with them. When you send them an encrypted email, they will receive a link to an encrypted Tuta mailbox where they can use your agreed upon password to decrypt and read your message.

This keeps your conversation safe from the prying eyes of Big Tech.
