Proton will no longer post on Mastodon
-
People have still blocked my iCloud.
What do you mean by that?
-
Yeah but without email aliases it would not be worth it
Bitwarden integrates directly with several email alias providers: https://bitwarden.com/blog/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden/

Proton: “We’re consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit for the latest updates”
If Proton does not refer to the Steam's Windows adapter layer for Linux, I don't care.

They have given me errors when trying to register with a hidden iCloud email.

That might be worth it. Is bitwarden self hosted FOSS?

"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

How do they control the narrative around here?
They control moderation, as they also do on Reddit. I don't know about Lemmy but I have personally been shadowbanned on their Reddit sub. They can't do that on Mastodon.

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.
No, he literally STARTED by stating what the republicans used to be about and then added a wildly inaccurate statement about what the republicans are about now.
-
Does this have anything to do with the CEO expressing his support for Trump?
Did he directly express support for trump? I only saw something along the lines of "the Republican party is better than the Dems because they will address big tech". Albeit that statement itself is misguided in many ways, but curious about what his actual post said?
-
In what way is Tuta's encryption better?
Proton does not use end-to-end encryption for email headers. That includes the subject lines, senders/recipients, and other potentially sensitive information.
Tuta uses E2EE for email contents AND headers.
Consider for a moment what someone with access to your contacts and subject lines would know about you. For me personally, they would know which political campaigns and causes I donate to, and when. They would know when I see various doctors, and who they are. They would know my travel dates and destinations. They would know what newsletters I read (many of which are also political). Etc.

That aged like milk.

Proton can now officially go fuck themselves.
First, their CEO supports Trump. Then this, ditching Mastodon in favour of nazi-Twitter. Proton is not safe anymore and people need to migrate away ASAP.
-
Would’ve switched in a heartbeat with IMAP support but that’s not in the cards. Stuck with Proton for now.
Wait... neither Proton supports IMAP! (unless you install their local bridge)
-
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's not stupidity; it's censorship. They can control what gets posted on their own Reddit community. They can't control what people are actually saying on the fediverse.
People need to realize that Proton has gone to the shitter; stop paying for them and migrate away as soon as possible.
-
Proton just dropping the ball over and over again these days. That's why I'm working on migrating from their sevices, then deleting my Proton account.
Me too, but I just can't stand Tuta UX (unless it got better recently).

Hmm good point. Honestly didn't think about that. In that case I'm surprised they're keeping the Bluesky account up, the replies are 90% negative there.

A better way to put it is that email clients don't support Proton. And I doubt any are going to make an effort to, unless the way Proton works becomes the norm. You would have to completely redesign the email client.
It's far easier for everyone to write an app that can then be used by any email client.

Checked both out of curiosity and seems like they are active on twitter but stopped posting weeks ago on bluesky after their feelings got hurt there from ceo backlash.

Imo it's more like leaving the town full of bullies.. completely understandable, I would do the same. Insane amount of hate, for one mistake. People can only see black and white these days..
With US aligning with Russia and North Korea and their party taking Kremlin talking points of refusing to say Russia is the aggressor it shows a huge lack of foresight that you'd expect from a CEO. Not like the party hasn't been accused of being pro Russian years prior or stuff like Project 2025 plans to kill democracy.
This is some amateur stuff.
