One of the things that continues to give me hope - and this may be silly to some - is just how actively npub1wjwj5r9ytyhgg7nwmy75t8xrhphw6c8kq94fuv0qdjg6g0fruffq02ue5t (npub1wjw…ue5t) continues to improve and expand in organic ways.
I moved from GMail to Proton and haven't had a second of doubt. They respond quickly and clearly to support requests and provide multiple avenues to usability that emphasize user privacy.
(I have no connection to Proton AG other than as a happy paying customer.)
