Privacy/encryption is a top priority

Large Gmail archive needs migrating over. If possible, I'd need to receive emails sent to my Gmail account (even if I can't answer them from that Google email adress).

I recently switched from Gmail to Proton but I'm already looking to switch again.

I just want a mailbox that's safe and nice. Much like Ente really. I tried Tuta because they are "friends" but I only saw negative feedback...

EDIT: I choose mailbox.org!

Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

Sounds like woefully ignorant cope. They're a terrorist death cult.

The rest is arguably correct, establishment Dems serve their donors more than their constituents. I don't necessarily blame someone for seeing legislation he supported shot down by the establishment and then switching sides. It's a baby-brain move, but that's what most uneducated Americans do unfortunately.

Case in point, in terms of privacy, the Dems Project 2029 is out and their first policy...is Digital ID and age verification. Which is effectively lifted from Project 2025. KOSA has bipartisan support. Probably because Meta and others are dumping tons into lobbying both sides but ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I'd rank the Mullvad founder bankrolling a far right party, who is now saying they have enough funding to put up candidates, and who literally say they will walk over corpses to ethnically cleanse Sweden, a bit higher on the scale.

The cope is the most important part. They aren't criticizing Democrats in a vacuum, they're doing it to say JD Vance, the Trump administration, and (in the post that sparked this) Donald Trump and his corporate captured Republican judge are all good.
