   Looking for some #tech advice. Trying to move from #Gmail to more secure #email accounts. Set up free @protonprivacy account and was planning on doing one more. Planned on using #Mailfence but they won't let me register. I was thinking of going with @startmail or @fastmail as a general secure inbox. Any thoughts or experiences with them? A third option is to do Mail Plus with #Proton and have just one box. Wanted to keep costs lower ($5 or below). Doing this as part @cyberlyra's Cyber Cleanse!

     @lordsplodge I went back and forth about Proton. Generally a good reputation and so far I like it. But I think what was turning me off is the aggressiveness that they try to push people to upgrade. I never like that with any service. It was this that made me hesitate to sign up for @standardnotes initially. But they won me over with their bluntness and the fact that they do seem to make an effort to make their service more affordable in multiple ways.

     @seanbala Fastmail is very well received. I used to have an email account with them. Might go back to them and get away from Google. Not sure I’d trust ProtonMail.

     @aapis @protonprivacy @startmail @fastmail @cyberlyra The Proton CEO clearly put his foot in his mouth. Most of the Tech CEOs are sucking up to Trump to get him to push their agendas or to get him to force the EU to drop regulations or suits. The funny thing is that unlike most of the others, I can't see what Proton's endgame would be in currying favor. It did give me some pause, but the positives of Proton outweighed this for me at this point. It was also easy to start a free account.
