I use BandCamp or HDtracks when i can't find it in the former.If you're in the US, Privacy.com has CCs. There are some sites that over gift cards via XMR too.Generally though, if there's a CC involved, there's almost always KYC.
I get your point and generally agree but it's not a non-issue.I think the general gist is that if you don't react to words, actions will follow.And, historically, the pen has always been mightier than the sword.
I’ve heard that self hosting can lead to a bunch of email getting snagged in spam filters.
Through force of numbers, the big companies have made self.hosting email a pain in the ass. DKIM, DMARC and all that, they say it's to fight spam but it's really just to ensure their monopolies. If it was encryption they'd be clamoring won't someone think of the children.
You can find people un/successfully self-hosting email so invariably YMMV. Just make sure you follow all the steps and guidelines and don't use that address for anything relevant in the first months.Some people also use a proxy in Outlook or something so the outgoing email has all the legit veneer.
Some issues on Proton are widely known, like their CEO's shenanigans... If you're gonna claim other less known issues don't act shocked and surprised (or offended or whatever) when someone asks for evidence.You're not obliged to provide such evidence nor am i obliged to believe your BS.
Make no mistake: any company that wants to operate above board, be it a VPN provider, a privacy-focused mail provider or whatever, always has to comply with the local law. If the "local" happens to be an oppressive regime like the US, tough luck... even in Switzerland if their gov forces a company to comply with something they will comply. Proton's no exception.
