As weird as the title sounds, my family really dislikes me using Tuta and not Gmail. Is your family also like this?

"Come on, Sarah, can't you just be normal and use Gmail like everyone?"

Never defend. Always make a good attack.
Never say privacy. Never get dragged into tech yapping. Always say control, power, scam and abuse.
Never lead with gains. Human care most about loss. Always focus on loss.

Something like:

Watching big tech gape my inbox was never normal but, if you're into that, I'm not judging you.
