Regarding the #Proton fiasco:
I don't know much one way or another about Fastmail's internal culture, but I can say with certainty that their product has been *rock solid* for so many years I can't even recall when I first started using them.
They seem to be the move-slow-and-fix-things company, which I greatly appreciate. Their UX has evolved *very slowly* over time…some might say too slowly, but I'm fine with it.
And they have EU data sovereignty as an option now!
