MODERATORS
I've tried making an account with them in the past and they never seemed to let me past the manual verification process. They also don't support SMTP (even on their paid plans) which is the same reason I'm avoiding Proton since I use git-send-email quite a bit and I'd like to be able to continue using Thunderbird as well.
I understand it. Look, this answer may clarify your concerns.
I understand why they do it, and it's not that I don't trust the clients they provide or whatever, I'm avoiding them because I wouldn't be able to use things like git-send-email which require you to have SMTP access.
A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.
Proton and it seems mostly fine for my use cases, but their free plan forces me to use their web client
Do you mean you can't use the app with a free plan? Because you totally can.
I edited my post for more clarification since I think I worded it badly. What I mean is that they force you to use their client (whether that be their web client, mobile app, or whatever else they have) unless you pay because they don't provide SMTP access with their free plan.
The reason for that is due to their encryption, you need something from them at some point to actually decrypt emails before they reach your device. If you're on linux you can look at the hydroxide and peroxide projects on github
proton is CIA
Can you direct me to more information? I'd like to know more.
I'm assuming it's referring to this:
The Swiss injunction was on behalf of Interpol and targeted a French climate activist.
Thank you!
