Proton is such a hassle and implements security in a completely illogical manner. I honestly can't believe that people are content with such mediocrity.
Can you give an example? This is the first criticism of Proton I've heard
They can't. I've seen similar critiques popup and I'm certain it's a shill trying to move people away from proton. Why? To what end? No clue on either front.
Proton is the shiznit. They answer to no one except their customers. They are self funded with lots of help from us. They never took any money from the investment firms that would try to control how they do things usually to the detriment of quality, security, etc.
You are right that Proton is currently self-funded by its paying customers, but to be accurate, they have actually taken VC money before.
That still doesn't negate what I said and I specifically worded it the way I did for a reason. There is a difference between taking funds from an incubator that runs as a non profit and taking money from the vulture investors who demand a large chunk of the company and therefore control for the funds they inject.
I'd be down to hear you out but you gotta first provide proof/evidence backing up that claim
What are some better options?
Have you considered self hosting?

After reading the adventures of https://io.mwl.io/@mwl trying to roll his own mail server, I’ll probably avoid that option.
What did you read? Can you share a link?
His #ryoms hashtag on Mastdon covers it. He plans to publish a whole book about it at some point.
Thanks!
