Something good and more private that gmail, but please don’t suggest faggy domains that are just shit and look terrible for the sake of privacy either

Damn, I came here to say that you are the first comment I see.
I guess look it up ? It is encrypted email from what I can tell, and I as understand it your ISP can’t even see the message ?
But like everything else people have said don’t trust it. “It’s comped” ... show me something that isn’t. It requires nothing to sign up, worth at least a try for a burner acct
Thanks - everyone is saying this. However, is it practical? Like, will I sound like a complete faggot when I’m reading out my email and saying I’m ‘at proton mail dot com)?
Only if you care what other people think
I’m not very techy so this may be a silly question - but is it ‘recognized’? As in, will it be accepted for signing up to any website?
Yes, entirely
Just purchase a domain. It’s cheap and easy.
Gov officials use it
Pay a little to support company, and get your own domain name. https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/custom-domain-support/
Hmm, this might be the move
I didn't say it was. I was addressing his concern that he doesn't want his email address to be [email protected]
It’s encrypted, at least advertised and parroted around the web as such. My buddy was into crypto, and he had to use an exchange not allowed in US. No IP from US could never touch his account, and we are talking a not insignificant amount of money. He ran it all through Protonmail ... that’s my anecdote
Yes it's very practical.
You can either use the free service, so yes your email would be [email protected]
OR
Go get yourself your own domain name and get a paid Protonmail plan, then route your mail to their servers. So you can use [email protected]
They also have a good tool you can use to IMPORT all your Gmail to Protonmail so you don't lose your stuff.
ooh thanks for this info. I've hesitated about proton mail because of the domain but this works. Import is even better.
They allow you to use @pm.me as well instead of protonmail.com
you tell people @pm.me (not protonmail.com).
