What email service do you use/recommend? I saw "hey.com" and was curious about changing away from gmail. Tagging a few people I think have opinions about such things! @johnaugust.bsky.social @hadley.nz @milesmcbain.bsky.social @b0rk.jvns.ca @hspter.bsky.social @rdpeng.org @karthik.io

Im still with gmail. I came very close to pulling the trigger on proton though. I liked the fact you can create aliases for sign ups. Also security/privacy focus etc

Yeah, I got cross w gmail b/c of the ads the tabs (promotions, social, ... etc). I "opted out" of ads by not having those tabs anymore. But now I have an unfiltered firehose of emails. I'm just tired of it all. Proton does seem to really care about security and privacy!
