I’ve decided to leave Proton after being a user since 2017. Today, I migrated all my services to my new domain, marking the end of my time with Proton. The recent political noise and price point were no longer justifiable for me. It was a good experience while it lasted. Thanks for the fishes 🐟 🐠

      They stopped their official Mastodon presence citing having not enough resources to maintain communities everywhere, which caused outrage among the Fediverse.

      Previously, they vocally supported the actions of Trump administration on the matters of Internet privacy, which caused a massive backlash.

      So, essentially, they have alienated a lot of userbase by making questionable moves.

          I absolutely do not believe Proton is MAGA, nor did I want to make such a statement.

          It’s just that the CEO is the most company-representing voice, and they said something vaguely positive, attributing it to the Trump administration, which caused a backlash. I do not think it is right, but it is what it is, and in the current political landscape Proton CEO’s actions were a bit insensitive.

        Imagine thinking installing Felon as an unelected official would be the best approach to putting Tech Bros in place.

        I would pay to watch this guy try to put his shoes on in the morning
