Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account
-
A perfectly guided opinion. You do get why the CEO likes Trump and left the fediverse while staying on Twitter, right?
Looking at the board of directors for the proton foundation, I'd say people are jumping to conclusions way too fast about proton.
I don't like that they're ditching Mastodon to focus on reddit. But, it makes sense in a marketing perspective. Reddit has a LOT more users, and potential customers. If they indeed don't have the resources to manage both then Reddit is the best option if they want to attract more people as customers. On Mastodon they're pretty much preaching to the choir.

Any alternative free VPN's
If you aren't the customer, you are for sure the product. Even then, sometimes you are both.
-
Any alternatives for their VPN service with port forwarding?
There are none of them as good as Proton.
For example, AirVPN hasn't had any security audits and doesn't seem too interested in them either due to monetary concerns. That's a deal breaker for me.

This might sound crazy but this is way worse to me than the CEO simping for orange man. At least for Trump he has a semi plausible excuse.
Reposting stuff on Mastodon or Bluesky barely requires any additional effort. And I cannot think of a good reason to close abandon the free publicity when they already have it set up.
And I’d have thought the potential customers are exactly the Mastodon users.

How about you go read about the foundation before making any judgements.
I'm well aware of the foundation, and the fact that they have left him on the board with zero consequences or controls.
Stating your ethics and then not enforcing them makes the statement pointless.

You know sucking off CEOs won't make them treat you any better than anyone else right?
Found Godwin

I'll sometimes agree with stuff Trump does too, like appointing Tulsi Gabbard, but I'm not going to say this means Republicans have become the party of anti war lol
You agree with Trump about something?! How dare you, nazi!

Pointing people to reddit, as if that's an alternative. When a VPN provider makes such bad choices it's tempting to imagine that the decision was influenced by somebody who wants to secretly get the message out that the company is no longer to be trusted, because it's hard to see any other logic in it.

There was one (1) post on their r/protonmail, asking why they abandoned Mastodon. That post is gone now... Stay away from Proton lol

Lmao k bye Proton
I'm searching for a safe and cheap alternative for my own domain, but it's hard! And I don't want to give money to American companies.

Gross. I’m slowly moving from ProtonMail to Port87, which is kind of embarrassing because I made Port87. Switching email providers is hard though. You have to update everything.
Unless you use a custom domain. That way you only need to update everything once.

I been using Canadian webhost hosterbox.com for several years. Been very happy with them.

Nothing good is free.
I've been pretty happy with PIA.

tuta.com is great for me so far

Yep. Definitely worth the ten bucks a year. Also it lets you get your own DMARC reports, which can be useful sometimes.

Is there a free DMARC reports analyzer? I don't want to pay for a premium service (it's my personal email, after all), and I don't like Postmark free service.

I don’t know. I just read the XML. It’s pretty easy to read. I’m sure there’s a tool out there though.

Tuta is €3.60 a month or €3 a month if you pay for an entire year (€36) not sure if that's "cheap" in your budget.
A .com domain is like $12 per year
Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.
I have only been using Tuta for like a month, still not sure if I'm staying tho...
There's also Mailbox.org which is also about €3 a month, which doesn't have encryption by default and they don't have an official opensource client. (Tuta has their client on F-Droid)
