Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account

Welp, I guess I'm switching to Tuta now.
Use Disroot

Glad I was always suspicious of Proton.
I'm not, they are a bunch of researchers having their servers in the country with the most privacy protective laws in the world.
Sure, criticise them when they do bad things, but what do you propose, google mail (etc.)?
If you don't have some real information you are just following a gut feeling (which by the way is the simplest to manipulate) and I think that is kind of curious actually.
I like Proton, I have their email & VPN, works like a charm, and their servers are in nuke safe bunkers in the swiss mountains.
The only other company that I have seen that isn't shady like for sure seems to be Mullvad, I mean if you hate the swiss or something or prefer the swedes ...

If your want to be hard headed about this, that's your problem.
Yan isn't the only guy on the board of directors. The others are pretty fucking credible and knowledgeable people on the topic of privacy. They all make the decisions togetherness. And im pretty certain they'll have the last word and steer Proton in the right direction.
Is it only me or is there some bandwagon effect on Proton hate these days?
I get it that everyone, me included, thought that sucking up to donald is a shit move, but that's about it. Proton is good.

Mastodon has that too, so Wonder why leave Mastodon at all
They can't control all the instances. I think that if they tried that with the one that I am on they would be laughed at.
Way easier for a company to make its own reddit and censor any post that talks about why you should probably start to look at moving your data before they are quietly asked to hand over all the data they have.

Makes sense

I was debating between proton and tuta, but I was able to get first.last@tuta so I’m happy that worked out now.
I have [email protected] and its a 3 letter last name, very cool.

Ouch! They really are working hard on getting any privacy oriented person to leave them.
I'm glad I have moved away from them.
Out of curiosity, where did you move from Proton?

Fuck the fascists
That word has truly lost all meaning.

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.
Reddit has a ton of users. Mastodon is marginal.

Something has always felt off. Swiss security is always a red flag, and free is never truly free. Don't really know who you can trust at this point. Everything seems to turn to shit as some point or another.

A human being.
Whoever posts on reddit can copy paste to other platforms, if they are to lazy to use a software that consolidates it for them.

Hard to claim manipulation when the leadership team is taking a machine gun to their feet.

On the other hand, the red flag is a big plus.

@mailbox_org@[email protected] are running their own mastodon server and it's an excellent mail service provider. @[email protected] are also present on Mastodon and is likewise an excellent mail service provider.

I was using mainly the emails from proton, I moved to mailbox.
At one point I was planning on moving my drive and VPN with them but their Linux support was really lacking, especially the CLI support so I've never done it and I'm glad I didn't.
For the VPN I'm using Mullvad integrated with tailscale, for the drive in using my own synology NAS and tailscale to connect to it.

@mok0 @flamingos Thanks for recommending us! We have no plans to leave Mastodon

Do they really need a team of people to post the same thing to X, Mastodon, BkueSky, etc? I'm honestly surprised they don't have some bot to make all the posts for them to those services. Sounds like a cop out to me.

I think their comment was tongue in cheek
like they're saying you need to pay for server maintenanceYou can get a gmail or proton email and just use it like we use phones now...call suppliers, buy shit, etc....just not for family connections. For that we use encryption.

Totally. People are exaggerating. Proton really is a good service and the only real answer to Google where you have everything under one account.

Such delicate snowflakes these ceos…
I do think the second part of your statement was unnecessary.
