    I’m sorry, WHAT??? I use Proton!!! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DESTROY THEM, NOT JOIN THEM!

    I truly hope we’re being overly dramatic here because Proton has been a good service for me. I do not feel like moving everything to another service. At least I have my own domains, though.

      I’ve had my Proton for not even one year, & turns out they’re evil, same with Bluesky, I’ll move away, sometime, whenever I get the morale, it’s annoying, having to delete more old accounts, finding more even obscurer alternatives, the moving process as a whole is daunting, but I’ll keep going, because if I stop, how will I expect tomorrow to be different from today if I can’t bother to make change myself?

        Keep fighting the good fight, my friend.

        I host my own email on my own domain, and I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble.

      Alas, when a company gets big it gets evil.

      I’m prepared this time around, I use Protonmail with a custom domain, I’m ready to easily switch.

      For the other stuff (Drive, Docs, Sheets, …) , I’m selfhosting.

        Let me know how this goes…

        I am also using my own custom domain, but I’m handling the aliases via simple login which I believe is also a product of proton.

        Not sure how one migrates that layer as well…

          Only manually.

          I didn’t use that feature mainly to avoid this problem.

          I used an email for each service (xyz-amazon@mydomain, xyz-ebay@mydomain,… Etc) and set up catch-all email for them. I was using the xyz+Amazon trick before, but some services don’t allow it, so I switched do dashes.
