Best calendar solution? (piefed.social)

So I’ve tried Proton Mail and it’s… not a great user experience. I’m looking for a good calendar specially that works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS. I want to be able to manage my work calendar through it (which is a Google account) and then a personal calendar which is hosted by this new service.

Privacy is important but I’m just trying to avoid major companies like Google. I’ve been trying out Fastmail so far and I think is pretty good and while not as secure as Proton it’s got the usability I’m looking for.

Just wondering if anyone else out there has a recommendo for me before I cancel my proton subscription and commit to Fastmail?

What’s wrong with FastMail? I’ve used them for ages.

If you deceive against them, you might look at NextCloud. You can pay for managed hosting of it at PikaPods.

There is nothing wrong with FastMail, I just don't like that they are based in Aus and are under the Five Eyes situation. I say this as an Australian who lives in a different country. I would prefer privacy locked, but from their transparency reports, they do seem pretty secure.

I used to work for them, and unless you use GPG on all your emails, they can read everything you send (or could as of 2020). As for the rest of their apps, I'm fairly certain those are encrypted at rest, though I do recall having to comply with an Aussie government investigation notice. They're also downright scornful of people who point out the issues with their privacy practices.
