Proton will no longer post on Mastodon
-
Ah, I see the confusion. Originally you mentioned two Proton services, password manager and email provider. The person who replied to you suggested two alternative password managers (one commercial, the other one FOSS). You then replied saying without a specific email feature it would be pointless, which would be fair for an alternative email provider but doesn't apply in this case.
-
"One mistake" would be if he didn't double-down on it, and if Proton addressed their customers' concerns in any meaningful way. Instead, they deleted posts and are now withdrawing from the community entirely, and directing users to three of the worst corporate hell-holes on the internet.
-
If they aren't getting much traction somewhere, but are spending outsized resources there, it makes sense to redirect the manhours elsewhere.

Little shit like praising literal hitler for some other things he did, besides the genocide.
-
If you read the whole thing again, he is supporting Trump and the Republicans.
-
I don't think I'll be renewing
-
Btw, their Mastodon account has more followers than their Bluesky and Threads accounts combined, both of which they are keeping. What a stupid decision.
-
It was still a completely naive and idiotic thing to say and doesn't show the forethought and strategic thinking that comes with being a good CEO, especially one of a service that could literally put people's lives in danger if jeopardized.
-
Well since in proton the email alias feature is integrated into the password manager (which is really useful) I don't see them as that unlinked. It would be like having a password manager without the ability to make random passwords, basically pointless. One compromised service and my email will be spammed across the internet until the end of time.

I've been using neomailbox for almost 10 years for this, so maybe check them out
-
also nobody really cares about nostr
-
Well, read comments under their latest posts on Mastodon. Solid shitstorm of 9 Beaufort since more than a month.

Tuta has a catch-all option that you could consider. Makes it so you can make any email address under your domain and it'll get to your mailbox.

"We hate that our CEO keeps getting called out and slammed by our followers so we're gonna stick our fingers in our ears"
Also good time to remind everyone Tuta exists

Tuta is fantastic.

I used tuta for a while, while they are working the best they can, I ended up leaving the platform. The app, ui, desktop app are really annoying to me. I found their antispam really lacking too.
However their work is still very impressive and they were always honest.

I liked electrons and neutrons better anyways....
-
Check your renewal date. Mine auto-renewed today without any prior notification that it was coming up.
-
Im sure there are tools/scripts for migrating easily. Proton is a sinking ship, anyone who denies it is just lying to themselves at this point.
-
There are other options for email aliases. iCloud has a pretty robust system, and its ubiquity makes it less likely to be filtered.
