Glad i left proton.

Is this because everyone gave them shit about their CEO’s breathless praise for a tyrant?

I hope they come back. These other platforms are getting enshittier and enshittier by design.

Privacy focused company move off privacy respecting service and suggest following them on privacy nightmare service. Are they trying to kill any trust in their own company?

I think this is the last strike for me, where do you go from Proton, I know for vpns I’ll likely be looking at mullvad, but what about passwords/email/calendar/drive?

I quite liked the setup for creating individual email addresses per service and used that heavily, which I assume will make this transition painful.

This is unexpected, as they had around 50k subscribers on Mastodon, and mirroring posts is super easy.

1000% this. It’s easy to mirror, so the idea that “it’s too hard, boo hoo” is cover for something else. Given the recent diatribes by the head, this just seems like more indication that Proton is going to play ball with authoritarians (or at least ultracapitalists, who are bosom buddies with the authoritarians).

Proton the privacy company… “follow us on reddit”?

I think I’ll cancel my services with them now. Thanks for making it easy. Idiots.

I hate how volatile everything is. I think 2025 will be the year we see what companies and countries shake out. It’s too early to see where all the cards will fall.

i wonder if they are getting paid resources to move to reddit/meta only

RIP, another one bites the Drumpf

Now it is easy to decide whether Proton is viable or not. Not their first strike. Hopefully users now know what their philosophy is
