Is Tuta a good alternative to gmail? (slrpnk.net)

I've been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that's more private. I've been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?

For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that's off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.

What did proton do wrong? Legit question, I'm out of the loop.

Nothing. It's just FUD.

Here's an article about it: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e

Even if the CEO did support the orange turd, I would personally still be able to separate his personal opinion from what the non profit is doing.

He explicitly supported the republican party in its current guise. That's enough for me to run. Fastmail is where I've temporarily landed - would prefer somewhere away from Aussie jurisdiction, but it felt like the least-shit.

Great source, thanks :)

That was informative, thanks.

I agree with you, I would be extremely surprised if the Proton CEO supported Trump.. I would say very unlikely.
