Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”
Oh FFS, and here I was recently considering switching to ProtonMail… fuck the fuck off.
Dear CEOs: if you’re eager to suck dick, I’m sure you can find someone better than authoritarian shitheads. Have some fucking standards.
I went through so much effort to move my small business and team over to proton. wtf.
“omg, turns out this big tech company is not my friend”
I don’t know if I would describe proton as a big tech company. Even if they were, their whole pitch is “you can trust us”.
Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can’t find either so suspect they’ve been deleted to try to quell the flames.
If anyone does have a link send it to me too…it really is being covered up aggressively. Makes me want to drop them more tbh.
Somebody had posted the link elsewhere in this thread. I’d been mistakenly searching u/ProtonSupportTeam for the offending comments rather than u/ProtonTeam
https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1zjgn/comment/m7ahrlm
Here’s the r/privacy thread which summarised all the drama, including pointing out all the comments Proton mods were deleting and censoring in their own sub. Then true to form the r/privacy mods deleted the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/
Extra weird because this is always the narrative, yet Trump could be any further from “standing up for the little guys” if he tried. It’s the same with the AfD in Germany, their voted policies (which is public as per the EU regulations) are as anti-consumer pro-corpo as you can be, even edging our truly crazy libertarian money sucker positions.
“standing up for the little guys” actually means “being racist as fuck”. Hope this helps you understand their position.
Things are taking a wild turn.
What’s the best way to transfer to another secure email provider?
Lol hate to say I told y’all so
Andy is sad that he didn’t taste that sweet sweet cheeseburger and diet coke cock.
I am dissapointed that my VPN is getting involved in US politics. This is not something I want for this kind of service. I dont want to debate US politics here. That being said, I cancelled my annual autorenew for April and I would like some recommendations. Originally I was deciding between Mulvad and Proton. I’ve also seen some people in this thread using Tuta? I am in Europe and just want a service that prioritizes anonyminity and data protection. I don’t know how the dust will settle on all this Proton stuff. What would you all recommend for a provider?
I was a Mullvad user until they dropped support for port forwarding, something I needed on a daily basis. Then I moved to Air Vpn. All things considered, Mullvad is a great experience, and I completely recommend it.
I’ve used mullvad before and it was a great experience. As far as anonymity goes, I don’t think you can do any better than mullvad where you even have privacy friendly payment options. That said, I haven’t used proton VPN so I’m not sure how they compare feature-wise
So apparently mullvad and windscribe are the best ones people use.
And I am using windscribe no problem.
It is however not as good integrated in Linux as nordvpn. But it’s a lot cheaper.
Self hosting is better these days.
How exactly does one self host a worldwide network of proxy servers?
Very carefully
But does this only create one node, or does it create dozens of them in each country?
Because I use a VPN so I can have anonymous exit nodes in whatever country I want. Happy to be corrected, but I don’t think that’s self-hostable.
You can get a lot of really cheap vps boxes around the world (~$1/mo). You could manage them all with something like ansible.
Get one in each continent and you’re paying about the same you would be for a vpn provide plus whatever time you invest into it.

You could spin up instances of cloud servers just for the time of your connection, but that would be slower to set up and probably more expensive (depends how much time you spend on the vpn).
My main self hosting point was for email. :)
Wtf Proton is same of Zuckerberg & Musk !!! Which mail could we use now ? Where the hell is the world going ? Could we have an Europe Elon Free, an Europe Zuck Free, and Swiss Proton Free…?!
“Wtf Proton is same of Zuckerberg & Musk” No it is not. Not even close.
Agree. 👍 . It’s not, it’s just emotional ! How could they defend privacy and freedom while going along with the powerful and the mercantile…

They’re is no way Trump wrote that tweet. It is full of punctuation and clearly gets a point across. It was clearly written by someone else. Nevertheless, time to delete protonmail.
He rarely writes any of his tweets. They’re dictated to staff
I doubt very much his dictation sounded anything like that tweet. There may have been five or ten words in common.
I’ve seen more than a few theories about exactly what Trump says, who does the stenography, and how much of it gets included in his tweets. Early in his presidency, the tone of his tweets was very fast-and-loose. Then the staff got shuffled and they started sounding more polished. But by the end of the presidency, they’d degraded back down to “Old Man Yells At Louds” levels of comment again.
My dear friend, what is happening over here: “They are is no way…”?
May it live forever even if they delete the toot: https://web.archive.org/web/20250115165213/https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
