In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇

Always try to provide:

-Server location (jurisdiction)

-Governance

-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

-Pricing and links

If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

    “non-profit” is just a tax designation, and the companies are still money/profit-driven. I don’t think non-profits are inherently bad, they’re just working within the system for what they perceive as good. In the non-profit my partner works at, the CEO makes $421,968 / year. While not billionaire status, it’s still 7x what my partner makes at the company. It’s exploitative in the Socialist sense.

    I’m just saying, being a “non-profit” (misleading term at best) doesn’t necessarily mean the company is “good” or that the mission is “good”.

      I dont see a problem with that. Its nonprofit. The money is going to a laborer, not to investors who dont do work for the org. People deserve salaries. $500k year is reasonable if the org is doing well.

        I don’t feel (and neither would a lot of Leftists) that a 7x salary for a CEO is fair. People deserve to be compensated for the work that they do, of course … but does the CEO do 7x the work of other people in the company?

          Nonprofits have to vote how they want to spend their excess income. The workers should just vote to have it distributed evenly amongst them.
