I unironically said this in my group chat, “proton mail is becoming more and more sketchy as being a privacy focused mail service” just like how signal is becoming more sketchy as a instant message service. There are things proton mail does such as logging activity that shouldn’t be the case as a paying customer, and yet here we are. When I request privacy I want it to be private, as in don’t give my data to anyone. it seems for that to happen it must be community driven and decentralized.
My god, yes. Just yesterday I stopped using duckduckgo since even that has now become increasingly infuriating with AI. I’m using this search engine with no AI it’s based on database queries and to go to a specific website there is a small tab you can use. I love it because now I get to appreciate and use textbooks (whereas i would have chatGPT’d it) because of how limited the queries are and the limited selection. It’s not like google where it dumps the most relevant information at the top, you have to search for it. Anyways, if you were wondering it’s called marginalia search.
Email has been a decentralized federated system from the start, though I’m not aware of any community I’d trust to be a more privacy-respecting host than the available commercial offerings.
