Cross-posting from .ml. Couldn't do it officially because it was posted by a .world user, so isn't visible from Hexbear.

I know this isn't the first strike for Proton either.

Dammit I knew proton wasn't super special I just didn't want all my eggs in the google basket. I guess I have to move to tuta now but I've still got more than a year left on my proton sub

What single thing has he done for “the little guys”?

Can't say I'm that surprised. Proton always had bad vibes for me and has been the "secure" email of choice of chuds for years.

I've used it for several years and I'm looking to move off of it. Its still better than Gmail, but they made a donation to Bellingcat in the past through a community vote and seek out places for their VPN service where the government "subverts democracy" like Hong Kong. They've always been ran by libertarian techbros.

The only other good alternative seems to be Tuta though and as petty as it is, I'm not going to be giving people an email address that ends in Tuta or Tutamail, especially verbally.

You're really over thinking this if you believe even 10% of the people you interact with give a single fuck about a silly domain name

Team sports thinking in full effect in this thread.

Yes, republican bad, yes, democrats bad. I don't give a fuck.

Avoiding some capricious big man prez interference via the DOJ by kissing the ring is sensible given Proton's vulnerability for being targeted as an easy chud treat, owing to their charity work.

Proton is a Swiss company, the sensible thing to do is not comment on American politics at all.

Yeah true my comment was way off the mark upon reflection.
