Sadly there aint much of other normie alternatives, and well normies are the ones who are the most important when it comes to that. Most of my friends are, and it would be really hard for me to even convince them to consider switchig, and for them it might even be a downgrade.
I have seen Lain, and loved it so much
I personaly use mailbox.org and I like it very much, it is paid tho
Additional info, my balcony faces east, and I live in Poland
