Welcome! The fact that you’re reading this means that you probably care deeply about the issue of privacy, which warms our hearts. Unfortunately, even though you care about privacy, or perhaps because you care so much about it, you may feel that there's not much you (or anyone) can really do to...
After all the fuzz about Mullvad having used Gmail for email and now self-hosting, have you checked what EFF uses for email ? So long privacy !
Well, I have, have you?

Look up their MX records : Microsoft email
In true EFF fashion. :P
Hell, even SMB really can’t easily/cost-effectively run without MS.
Sad, but true.
Unfortunately it can’t either be run in a solid and stable way EVEN with MS. The Windows’ SMB client sucks as well.
There isn’t a a lot of options for public facing organizations. It kind of sucks but it is true.
Also email isn’t private or secure and it will never be private or secure unless you use gpg everywhere with everyone. Even with gpg you still have a public identity.
Really ?
Agreed.
One problem with GnuPG is that it will take a lot of effort to make normies use it.
