Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton’s trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

“limited resources” wtf? just copy and paste the content. I guess they didn’t like the backslash on Mastodon because of the CEO and Trump bootlicker Andy Yen
This is even more ridiculous given they have a bluesky account and all they need to do is follow the bridge and their content will be ported to mastodon. Literally 5 seconds.
Yeah not even copy paste, this has been easily automatable for years.
especially as it’s not even their own body they don’t have enough to deal with.
This is a genuine question : how Proton stopping using Mastodon for communication make them bad ?
Meh
On Mastodon, Proton is held to a higher standard. That’s why they left for the dumb masses instead.
Honest, stupid question: Why exactly is this such a big deal to so many of you? (I don’t use Mastodon.)
I mean, it makes sense for a company to focus on a platform with a large user base. Social media managers aren’t free.
every time I hear anything about this shit company, I keep thinking it’s valve’s linux compatibility thingy and I get real confused about why people are hating on it.
Sad news :-/
At least we have !protonprivacy@lemmy.world but they’re not on it I believe
It’s as if with each passing day, Proton wakes up and chooses to wear a slightly different red flag for a cape than the one they wore yesterday. I’m obviously being hyperbolic here, but I’m also a bit upset with myself for having decided to get an annual subscription with them last November.
I’ve heard good things about Mullvad for VPN and Tuta for mail. I’ve got my own domain that I can start using with whatever mail host I land on.
I’m in the U.S. What other mail providers are people using, and what other VPN providers should I be considering?
If you ever want to torrent, some service that allows port forwarding, like AirVPN or PureVPN. A popular alternative of mullvad does not allow this.
You keep posting this and I haven’t been using port forwarding at all but torrents keep coming through. What am I missing here? Serious question, because I do not know what I’m either doing wrong or missing out on with port forwarding and I have not been experiencing what I would call a degraded experience as far as I can tell, but there’s a whole world of things that I’m entirely ignorant to.
A connection has to be established. That is only possible if one side has an open port.
So you can basically not connect to other people with closed ports, which reduces your available pool of people to connect to.
As long as there are enough people with open ports for you, you and the torrent ecosystem will be fine. But when nobody or very few people have open ports, torrenting simply doesn’t work.
I understand. Why use resources on a platform that is so badly designed for new users that isn’t used but to post manga and linux memes from tech nerds? If this is your reason to drop Proton then you’re priorities seem a bit off imho.
No the reason is they are pro-nazi
At least they are still on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/proton.me
But a true fediverse presence would be better
Bluesky is not much better than X despite it claiming to
It’s… better in the sense that you don’t have right wing weirdos all over the place. But technically? Organizationally? Feels like we’re on track to replay the same exact shit over again. It feels like people just aren’t learning the lessons they should from the Twitter takeover.
Bluesky can be taken over by a billionaire. The fediverse cannot. Bluesky is just another Musk waiting to happen.
Why do you keep adding that license to all your posts? You’re like those boomers on Facebook that fell for that “Facebook doesn’t own my photos cause I say so” meme.
No AI is gonna pay attention to whatever this is.
Thank you for the original comment. Never read that opinion before. It must be difficult living with your intellect among us dumb mortals.
Ugh, I use proton for VPN and email. Any suggestions for decent VPN at this point?
I don’t have any complaints with Nord but other people seem to.
Nord has no port forwarding. No deal
I’ve used Mullvad for a couple of years now and they’re great.
Unless you never want to torrent, I would not choose mullvad. Torrenting requires port forwarding if you properly want to give back to the community, which mullvad doesn’t support.
AirVPN is great, allows port forwarding, 5 devices, and they run very good black Friday specials every year if you decide to buy it after trialling.
I’ve been giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I’m kinda done with them. Anyone have any suggestions for a mail provider? I’m not yet willing to self-host that.
I’ve been using Tuta Mail for over 5 years.

People on here like complain and will tell that he has his balls in his mouth when in reality all he did was show some hope after the Republicans appointed someone who has a track record of being anti-bigtech. I still think the way the situation was handled terribly, but to say that he is MAGA would be a hell of a stretch in my opinion
So it came as a surprise last month when Proton CEO Andy Yen praised the Republican Party in a post on X, declaring that “10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.” When the tweet went viral, Proton’s official Reddit account posted a now-deleted comment stating that “Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”
show some hope huh
Yeah so uh youre proving my point, he’s happy that the nominated person is more favorable to small businesses than the one previously nominated by the Democrats. Wether it’s true or false I don’t know, but this post (and his other posts form before and after the event) to me don’t suggest MAGA
Then I just don’t know what to tell ya. It’s right there.
I wish VPS providers didn’t commonly block email ports. Self hosting seems like the only way to stay in control
It’s understandable though, they just don’t want to deal with email spammers.
