And what do you actually use? I know the answer is probably self-hosting but maybe there are other solutions for a decent privacy.

Privacy is a spectrum…. A journey not a destination…

Yes self hosted is the most private to a point… ie you are responsible life configuration and security, and even good admins screw it up.

Proton is good as far as we trust them, how paranoid are you do you trust them a nS their audits?

Sigh. It is hard. Email isn’t that secure. Treat as though it will be and can be exhibit A in court…

Use signal for anything that needs to stay “that” private
