Since the recent Proton events I need to change providers and I found RiseUP.

I would like to know how good is this service and if I should consider it.

Moreover as I know that it is no open to sign up how to get a RiseUP account? THX for all

I’ve only recently started using proton but knowing that, I’m out. Thanks for the heads up.

My issue was not that Andy Yen made the comment he did (as much as I disagree). My problem was the Proton account making an official statement doubling down on it.

He did make a subsequent post trying to clarify and apologize, but at this point, the cat is out of the bag, IMO. I’m switching to Tuta for email, Mullvad for VPN, and self-hosting Nextcloud for storage.

Rely on a company that is governed by this kind of CEO is not that good
And then the official proton account doubled it soo…

Sorry, I was using it since almost 6 months too but now I’m leaving.

I will go with disroot as said in other comments of this post. RiseUP seems pretty hard to get into.

(Note that email is not secure from start (unless you setup proper encryption between you and your correspondent), so this feature is not a need (do not misunderstand it with local email encryption))
