Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account
-
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.
-
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.
-
You 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.
-
I do think the second part of your statement was unnecessary.
-
You said
Stating your ethics and then not enforcing them makes the statement pointless.
Explain to me what ethics did they not enforce?
Hint: none.
-
Exactly. If they need help maybe someone could create something so they can post to BlueSky, Matrix, Lemmy, and Mastadon at same time soon. Also set it up for the up and coming Flashes and Pixelfed.

R*edit

Protón is just a bunch of criptonazis
-
They specifically said they don't want to do automated posting, to avoid writing and not interacting with the community. I see no value in them doing this, considering we can get the same content via RSS, blog page or email newsletter.
Presence makes sense if it means presence. If it means a bot reposting content, anybody can do it, but the value is very low. -
In case of proton free means "subsidized by paying users". No big mystery on how they make money.
-
Nah, just they are to common and normalize now.
And you normalize them more if you dont like to call them by they name.
-
(Re)Posting and not engaging with the community is not free publicity, is bad publicity. They don't have the resources (according to them) do to the latter, and therefore they choose not to do the former.
-
I've committed a bunch of relatives and myself to a year of the Family plan, and now most of us want to leave.. What a mess.
