Proton will no longer post on Mastodon
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.

because they will address big tech
That aged like milk.
-
Yea agreed
-
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.
-
Wait... neither Proton supports IMAP! (unless you install their local bridge)
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And he didn't even need to say anything at all which is the ridiculous thing lost in all this. It was amateur hour showing a huge lack of foresight you'd expect a CEO to have when it comes to things as simple as PR.
-
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
honestly that's a plus for me, I'd rather they focus on a small set of products and do really well with them. before I left Proton I was wary of their scope creep, and then the crypto wallet shit
-
big tech was very left leaning
complete bullshit.
-
Lmao that second paragraph. This guy is not just a tool, he's the whole toolbox.
-
Tuta it is then.
-
Tuta is really good. The push notifications work perfectly without delay on de-googled devices. top.
