Proton or Tuta? (lemmy.zip)

So, I've been de-googling, and moved my email and calendar to Proton, and I've been using their VPN for a while as well. I really like it, and it works extremely well for me.

But I am slightly annoyed by Proton's choice to stop posting to Mastodon, and their CEO's Trump comments. And I do like Tuta's support for the Fediverse, and their better open-source implementation. But I'm wondering if it's worth it to bother switching again. I tried making a ones month payment to try out both, and my card doesn't want to pay for Tuta (It's finicky about stuff outside the US).

So would it be better to just stick with Proton? Or try to manage to go over to Tuta?

+1 for Tuta. I have a free account with proton but I pay for premium Tuta. They have deeper ideological connections to the open source world and release many of their apps on F-Droid. Proton has only released their VPN app on F-Droid and seems to have no interest in any further activity there. Basically I think Tuta edges ahead in the morals and heart department, though they are a smaller company with less resources.
