Proton: “We’re consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit for the latest updates: Reddit - Dive into anything”. This is unexpected, as they had around 50k subscribers on Mastodon, and mirroring posts is super easy. I find that concerning that they stopped posting on open and decentralized platform, but keep posting on Meta and X.

I think this is the last strike for me, where do you go from Proton, I know for vpns I’ll likely be looking at mullvad, but what about passwords/email/calendar/drive?
I quite liked the setup for creating individual email addresses per service and used that heavily, which I assume will make this transition painful.
Passwords I would recommend Bitwarden or KeePass (both of which are in the PrivacyGuides wiki, particularly usefull for KeePass where there are different clients depending on OS)
Email / contacts / calendar I am still struggling on to be quite honest. I am debating right now on Mailbox.org + EteSync OR just using Posteo.de (while it has some security regressions compared to Mailbox.org, it has encrypted contacts and calendar). To be quite honest though the options available in this space are quite frustrating, it is really hard to find a solution that allows for interoperability / data portability as well as E2EE / elevated security.
Tuta has catch all addresses, meaning you can use any email on your domain and it will go into your inbox. You don’t even need to “create” it if the option is enabled - it just takes anything sent your domain and drops it into your inbox. For passwords, you can’t beat Bitwarden/Vaultwarden. Tuta has a calendar (but I don’t really use it, I use self hosted WebDAV instead). I’ve not needed a cloud drive (I have a NAS and nextcloud) so I can’t really suggest anything for that.

Posteo.de has email, contacts, and calendar. You can use Filen.io for cloud storage.
