Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency

The reality is the only option you’ll have (for those asking for alternatives) is self hosting, if you’re worried about things like this. Eventually one of them may get compromised or emshitified.
Tuta, for example, is in Germany. All it takes is one election where the AfD wins and now Tuta is compromised. Either you’ll be hopping around continuously, or you settle for the best possible option, or you self host.
Proton immediately froze my account, I am on some brazillian blacklist from my ip somehow, no way to ask for them to allow it anyway there like at tuta.
Those are the only 2 I could find that are acceptable. I do not want linked phone, do not want to be locked out of email if I lose phone or service.
Doesn’t self hosting email usually just get you flagged as spam nowadays?
There are ways you can both make your emails adhere to certain standards that make them look better and “warm” your account so Gmail and Outlook decide to trust it.
I won’t directly mention how in this thread because SEO agencies LOVE abusing this to self host massive link building spam networks to save a buck on buying Gsuite accounts, but it’s indeed possible.

Because email is federated self hosting doesn’t matter.
Sure you aren’t going to lose your email but 90% of it is going to be hosted by Microsoft/Google.
