Proton will no longer post on Mastodon
-
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.
-
Please no, no more shitty electron apps
-
It's a little better, but still not as clean as Proton. The mobile menus really suck.
But they're good enough, so I use them.
-
There are a few other things I miss from Proton:
- Proton Bridge
- nicer interface
- better search
Yet I'm a paying Tuta customer now instead of a paying Proton customer.
-
Regardless of what we think of his comments, it's good that he is vocal about his opinions. Makes him seem like a person than some faceless CEO they says nothing.
He just got spicy with this 1 post and it hasn't worked out for him and now the open source community Proton is a part of hate him. There is so much hate that they are leaving Mastodon which is a huge shame
-
But Trump was the first president (since the US tried to break up Microsoft) to seriously start thinking about fighting big tech. Obviously for dumb reasons (they hurt his feelings) but still, I don't think that statement is inaccurate. However, it is true he isn't the first politician to say something against big tech. Even so, he was in a position of power to potentially do something about it (even if he never did and likely won't now given how much they are bending the knee)
-
Your words, they smell of lazy deceit.
-
Just like Musk back in 2018 could be a face dropping moment enough to cast doubt, so for consumers a good thing to know if the person in charge is potentially problematic enough to cast doubt in usage of the product over alternatives.
-
Fuck Proton.
-
Just FYI, I'm not a Proton supporter (I find the way overrated), nor an American citizen, nor a MAGA supporter (quite the opposite, actually). I just use common sense. If you're so stupid to believe otherwise it's exclusively your problem. Keep crying and jumping from service to service for every little shit. Have fun.
