Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

Honestly, building a mail server isn't that hard if you aren't afraid of the command line.

What is a good alternative for Mail? I'm mostly for Proton because of Data security and Mail aliases. But this move is actually concerning.

Yes, I know the background behind it.

I guess it's time to look at self-hosted cloud storage services like NextCloud, OwnCloud, Seafile, CryptPad etc. that can replace Proton Drive, but does anyone have any recommendations for a secure email service to replace Proton Mail? From what I read on r/selfhosted, while you can technically run your own email server, it's just not worth it.
