Proton will no longer post on Mastodon
-
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.
-
Lol, here comes the drama. And I say that as a person on the opposite spectrum of Trump.
-
That’s impossible, the email aliases are under their domain. You’d have to change all your accounts. I’m not doing that again. Hopefully they just change their tune.
-
This is the first time hearing about Tuta, Thank you
-
If it’s an unknown or less popular service they are less likely to add it to a blacklist IME
-
True, but that’s defense by concealment. If they notice the domain, they can block it without harming their business. My argument is that iCloud is too large for them to block.

Here is the CEO's post along with a link to an article with the twitter link.
Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.
He is supporting Trump's pick for a roll, fair enough. But the rest of the post, he is talking about how he hopes the republicans will do something about big tech. He isn't endorsing Trump himself or his stance of policies. Far as I've seen he never has. He it literally just stating what the republicans used to be about.
-
So it's naive to voice his opinion on what a Trump presidency could mean for the tech industry? Looking back to trump's previous term big tech shunned him and Twitter even kicked him off the platform by the end of his presidency. Back then it pissed Trump off and he threatened all sorts of shit. I don't think it was that crazy to think that he would still be upset about it and try to do something at the begining of December when Proton's CEO made that post.
If you look at what proton is trying to do in terms of becoming a complete non-proffit that would have many safeguards in place to undo that change. I think it does show he has some level of forethought. The one caveat being that they have not completed that process and implemented everything yet so we'll have to see if that promise follows through

Would’ve switched in a heartbeat with IMAP support but that’s not in the cards. Stuck with Proton for now.
-
Yeah damn that hurts. Just signed up for tuta. I will be leaving proton soon I guess. A shame, I had just finished moving all my communications there…
-
I've been using Tuta Mail for a few years now. No complaints. Most of the features you would expect. Lack of IMAP support is kinda disappointing but survivable. Their email security is very strong though — they encrypt every part of your email, including subject
(some providers only encrypt the body). They're also rolling out post-quantum encryption of email data at rest, which tickles my crypto nerd side.They've still a loong way to go to match Proton's product suite though, as they only offer Email, Contacts and Calendar for now. They're working on Drive storage next, which is the main reason I currently use Proton.

How do they control the narrative around here?

Underrated comment, right here!!
