Is proton better than gmail? Yeah
do we need perfect? no.  something is better than nothing

I’m just saying I’m trying to promote decentralization, people on smaller servers doing email.  If proton is encouraging people to only use their app, which doesn’t translate to real clients, it encourages centralization.  Especially if one can't use external PGP with them, unless it's literally copy pasted as text

We all want the same things, just disagree over what’s the best way to do it.  I appreciate your time regardless
