much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
I literally just switched over from Google a few months ago and finally got all settled in. Just great. Does anyone know of any good alternative? I know Tuta exists, are there other options?
I rate disroot as a good free alternative. Personally I use FastMail. It's paid, but you know how the saying goes, "if the service is free the you're the product".
FWIW if you switched once then next switch is RADICALLY easier.
Well, switching from Proton was more painful for me, at least on a free account, as it won't gel with a desktop client like Thunderbird or Outlook, and last I checked, didn't allow email forwarding.
Imagine switching from based proton just cuz CEO agrees with Trump.
Imagine staying onboard with someone promoting nearly every horrible thing in our world just so you can have easier email access.
Imagine making your entire existence a matter that eventually turns into politics. Give me a break. Who cares what he said?
I mean, they showed agreement on one issue, which is obviously important for Proton and as a consequence beneficial for the general population (fairer competition with privacy respecting companies).
What horrible things is he promoting?
If you think Trump covers "nearly every horrible thing in our world", what do you say about the world from since you can remember until 2017 and again from 2021 till now?
posteo: https://posteo.de/en I am using their service since roughly 10 years and am completely satisfied :)
I’ve liked my experience setting up Purelymail with a custom domain!
Same here. Fuck me.
I'm on the same boat :')
DisRoot ?
I know there's Fastmail, but I don't know if they have privacy on the level of Proton. I just know that one of the hosts on a tech podcast that I listen to moved there from Google and was impressed at how smooth the process was.
