Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:
The VPN had been great
The storage isn't enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn't a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use
The Pass app is handy and it's easy to make aliases, though it often doesn't know to fill in, doesn't do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.
I'm sticking with them. I don't really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it's not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.
I recently was talking with someone in south America about things in the US, most of which they hated, then when I got to "yeah, a lot of people sell plasma to help get through school" they were like "WTF! I hate your country! Here we do it as a donation! And you do it to help get through school!?" 😂
Tl;dr - fediverse probably won't do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues
I know this is quite late, but I sold everything and have been fully nomadic for the past year.
I cycle between wanting to travel more and wanting to have some stability in relationships, places, etc. During those times I'll rent space for longer in a CoLive arrangement so that I still have social interactions.
