Proton or Tuta? (lemmy.zip)

So, I've been de-googling, and moved my email and calendar to Proton, and I've been using their VPN for a while as well. I really like it, and it works extremely well for me.

But I am slightly annoyed by Proton's choice to stop posting to Mastodon, and their CEO's Trump comments. And I do like Tuta's support for the Fediverse, and their better open-source implementation. But I'm wondering if it's worth it to bother switching again. I tried making a ones month payment to try out both, and my card doesn't want to pay for Tuta (It's finicky about stuff outside the US).

So would it be better to just stick with Proton? Or try to manage to go over to Tuta?

The problem is being able to do this on all devices, and easily

But sadly with manual, we also lose the ability to do mail searching

always trade off less convient and cant search but verifiable that your mail is secure an proton or tuta dont have a backdoor
