Looking to leave GMAIL and am currently testing Proton for a $1 a month. So far it's pretty good and the issue I have is not with Proton, but with who I'm sending messages to. If I send an email to a gmail account my information is still sitting on a Google server. So is Proton worth it? Is something like Fastmail just as good over all due to how email works? With Fastmail I can get email for my whole family for $14 a month. I won't have the VPN, ProtonPASS and other Proton apps, but are they worth the $12 a month for one person?

You could use pgp or s/mime.

You could email a link to a discussion that’s hosted elsewhere.

    I'd love if people in my circles would get onboard with privacy and do that. I tried getting family on Signal and no one seemed to care about their privacy. I could see people simply not joining the discussion due to friction.
