Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account
-
Sure sure. The guy who unprompted endorsed a trump appointment that has deep US Telco ties, bizarrly said "the GOP is the party for the little guy," had nothing but wonderful things to say about J.D vance, stated that Chuck Schumer slow rolled 2 internet privacy bills because of "quid pro quo" with his daughters working for big tech, used the phrase "triggered" unprompted, and just randomly added "88" to the end of his new user name.
Yeah, that guy is just neutral and disillusioned with the Democratic party.

Mullvad no longer has port forwarding.

Sad, but I'm largely indifferent to this.

Non-profits make profit all the time. The key difference between a for-profit and a non-profit is that a for-profit company takes that money and gives it to its owners, and a non-profit is legally required to reinvest that money in its organization or missions.
Of course, non-profits can also do shitty things like nepo hires with vastly inflated salaries, throw parties and extravagant galas for "fundraising" and spent almost nothing on the charity aspect.

Posteo is good. Have been using them for 2 years now.
-
Airvpn, or Azirevpn if you're ok with few servers
Of those I've only used Azire, and it worked well. I've seen Airvpn recommended often though

Lmao k bye Proton

At least reddits getting selfaware enough that every other post is ppl getting mad at ppl telling them to google since those posts are what they find off google, or they've already googled and found nothing.
The immediate assumption that everyone is an idiot who hasnt tried to google is annoying but used to be valid, ppl got lazy there (including me) and would just ask questions that were easily googleable, the issue is those posts are now first on google and none of them have answers lol -
How about you go read about the foundation before making any judgements.
-
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.
-
If you aren't the customer, you are for sure the product. Even then, sometimes you are both.
-
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.
-
And Iād have thought the potential customers are exactly the Mastodon users.
-
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.

Found Godwin

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
-
proton fans are bootlickers

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.
