A while back I started on this journey, and as most people did, I’ve had my ups and downs and went through the learning curve, I’ve now reached the point of so much knowledge that I truly know, I dont know shit. People of Lemmy I come to you today because idk what to do, I recently made a free account with proton, their subscription is fairly cheap so idm paying the monthly tier of 15GB so I can have control over ending it whenever I please instead of being locked in for a year. Now, I heard about Tuta but never dived much into it, i know Proton has had its controversies (Don’t be shy of reminding me of what they were), but what are my options here truly for a proper FOSS email provider? I can negate the free part for a reasonable price, but truly private AND secure is a must.
Self Hosting isn’t an option yet for personal reasons unless it’s completely free.
Isn’t PGP what they say to always encrypt any message you send with prior to sending it? Especially on Dread and DNM Bible, never understood how to actually use it though
yeah it is used for encryption, in this case mails between proton users can be encrypted using OpenPGP
i recommend to research a bit yourself on these topics and your use case for privacy in this context. email is not private by design.
