Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

I believe I'll need to move to mailbox.org with custom domains.

Man. Right when I was about to buy into the ecosystem and get away from google.

[edit]: slightly less worried after reading this: https://lemm.ee/post/55314225

Just another nail in the coffin that hopefully convinces those who thought Proton was maybe still okay after CEO licking Trumps toes.

Sad news :-/

At least we have !protonprivacy@lemmy.world but they're not on it I believe

Your options are mostly Proton, or Tuta. One is located in a country that's part of the 14 Eyes, and who just had an election where the far-right party just won the most amount of votes.

EDIT: THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS WRONG, IN THAT THE AFD CAME IN SECOND PLACE, NOT FIRST.

Uh while i dont disagree completely... most votes is for cdu (riding the strongman train hard these days)- that would be right wing dems by US-standards . Most votes for NSDAP (read:afd) since 1933 however.

You are absolutely right, I looked at the graphic wrong. Thank you for correcting me.

Only thing keeping me from leaving is the low price I'm paying for proton unlimited.

This is a genuine question : how Proton stopping using Mastodon for communication make them bad ?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Because they are exclusively on the Nazi social media now. You do the math.
