Good to see a UK offering.
That's fantastic! It might solve a range of problems with transitioning from old media and a lot of their tools federate. I'm all in on this.
Another... lemmyor? lemmista? pointed out that several of Disroot's services (cloud, email) are unecrypted, so be aware of that.
Oh indeed, although they are quite clear which ones are. My biggest concern is the other bit of the lemming's warning (what I'm going with anyway), not to go all in, as you never know if the project is unsustainable without all the data harvesting. However, Google have taught me that lesson over thr years.
I think Disroot survive on donations, and I get the impression that they would rather close than sell users' data. But you never know.
My next major software install will be the Nextcloud docker image, replacing so many data-sucking cloud services. Self-host at first, then maybe try a trusted provider (from whom my data would be protected).
