What European email services do you use?
Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.
I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans ๐๐ผ

I agree.. I just don't think its enough to compromise Proton as a company as a whole. I still hope they are legit about the privacy and customer protection. But yeah, it doesn't look good when the CEO is behaving like this.
EDIT: I also try to acknowledge that I spend too much time online (reddit previously, now lemmy) and from that perspective its so obvious what a shithead Trump is, but looks like a lot of "normies" are still not caught up with that reality yet. What I'm trying to say is that I try to remain more levelheaded about how people view Trump or Republicans. A lot of people were still thinking Musk is a genius (and I don't mean genius in scamming) even less than a year ago.. hopefully they catch up eventually.
The E Jean Carroll trial that proved Trump raped her* ended in 2023. And he was convicted in early 2024 for 37 counts of felony fraud. Those are just the most recent cases among many others over decades. I don't think anyone should get a free pass based on ignorance for making any statements about Trump.
Neither do any "normies" get any pass if you're in the US. Though, I do know some people that are staunchly against even thinking about politics, that's the only kind of example I could think of that would be an excuse, but that's a whole other problem of willful ignorance.
But yeah, I won't fault anyone for not wanting to jump ship just yet from the CEOs absolutely brainless tweet and then his horribly poor attempt to excuse it. But if you're going to offer Proton as an option then I do think it's important to inform people of that, without trying to dismiss it, so they can make the choice for themselves.
*Not technically fitting that states strict legal definition for the court to convict, but the judge made a statement saying that it was rape in the common sense
I understand that but it's kind of what i'm saying.. if I wasn't on reddit or lemmy, I probably wouldn't even know about it, since I don't really particularly care about Trump. I assume most people don't. Yes, the CEO of Proton should know better because that's his job, but in general I think people just really don't care and don't know. I think a lot of people just consider Trump a loud idiot, without giving much consideration into how dangerous him and his party is or what kind of felonies he has been convicted for.
Hmmm I dunno. You'd have to be pretty disconnected and highly uninformed. But that's my point, too. If you know that little, and then make any kind of statement about Trump or the Republican party, then that's entirely on you.
