Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton’s trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.
You must log in or # to comment.
They are back, apparently…
“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
Oh yeah that’s prob it. On Reddit they can delete any negative comments
Same on Bluesky actually. They can hide comments they don’t like in response to their posts.
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.
Honest, stupid question: Why exactly is this such a big deal to so many of you? (I don’t use Mastodon.)
Sad news :-/
At least we have !protonprivacy@lemmy.world but they’re not on it I believe
On Mastodon, Proton is held to a higher standard. That’s why they left for the dumb masses instead.
This is a genuine question : how Proton stopping using Mastodon for communication make them bad ?
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.
I mean, it makes sense for a company to focus on a platform with a large user base. Social media managers aren’t free.
They didn’t even post about this decision! What a shame!
I suggest voting on the following Proton’s UserVoice idea I have just created. This may be the only way of getting their attention.
Meh
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.

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.

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.
Looks like I’m leaving Proton. Fucking hell, not even a year ago I migrated from Gmail
Learn your lesson and switch to a custom domain :) that way you will never have to change all your services’ email addresses anymore, when you want to switch mail provider.
How costly is a domain? Also how does one set it up, do you need a DNS server?
Most (if not all) domain providers also host DNS for you. After you buy your domain, you’ll need to go to the DNS settings and put some records given by your email provider (records are just made of a “type” such as A, MX, CNAME, TXT, a “domain” and the “content”).
A .com domain usually costs between 10 and 20 dollars per year. I think it’s worth it! There are many domain registrar you can choose from.
I personally like Porkbun, it’s cheap and it works great. In the past I used to like the French service Gandi, but it’s been recently acquired by a VC and now it’s gone to the pooper.
That’s what I’m leaning towards. Now to think of a domain that’s easy enough I can tell my email over the phone of needed
Makes me glad that I procrastinated on switching over, I guess I’ll just ride out my current NordVPN subscription and switch over to Mullvad?
Almost makes me afraid to ask the community, what exactly is wrong with Nord? 😅
Unless you never want to torrent, I would say to not use mullvad, you can’t forward a port with them (same with NordVPN). There are plenty of VPNs that don’t log and allow port forwarding. I use AirVPN.
I’ve not encountered any issues filling up my NAS with torrented Linux ISOs via NordVPN?
My priority for a VPN has just been no logging and the ability to ‘travel’ internationally… so if there the case, no need to rush out and switch then?

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.
