He’s another mini Elon wannabe, obviously. They’re coming out of the woodwork lately.
I hope people are taking notes so these scum don’t get to skate later when it falls down around their ears.
This is basically my thinking and why I will be shifting away from their products as well
People here need to read about how fascism in Germany and Italy were good for business but terrible for the workers. About how the moneyed interests played a role in the rise of fascism in both as a defense mechanism against unions and socialism.
This comment right here absolutely nails it.
The Republicans have installed a Supreme Court that guts antitrust at every step, and Andy gives them a pass. Anyone that’s that bloody oblivious of how the GOP have spent 25 years trying to remove consumer protections at every turn shouldn’t be managing a popsicle stand, let alone an email service so many rely on to be private.
What a redundant muffin.
Me being too lazy and putting off switching to Proton has paid off!
I really don’t understand this compulsion people have to publicly announce their political support.
Like, this guy could have just said nothing, literally just not do anything, and he’d be better off.
Canceled my sub last night, ported everything to Tuta today. No issues this far.
Super disappointing, but is what it is and I’ll move on.
I already used my proton email as contact method on some published stuff that I can’t modify. Do you have some tips for that situation, or am I stuck now?
I’d probably just set up a forwarding rule and call it good if you can’t modify it.
Right now my Proton account has a few straggling outliers forwarding to my new accounts, but I’ve mostly switched everything over to emails that are for a domain I own so it’s a little easier moving forward.
Thank you for the suggestion
Cancelled my subscription today. I will be finding an alternative.
I had just signed up a few nights ago to try it out before subscribing, it’s an easy cancel at this point and is being done momentarily.
I had it for a few months. Luckily it was easy to swap out this early on.
Time to find a new option.
I was looking to use ProtonVPN but since that story, i would prefer an alternative.
What do you guys use for VPN (i think i saw Mullvad in the replies ?)
Mullvad
I thought they were wonderful. Until they got rid of port forwarding, which is the only reason why I was paying them: as a torrenting VPN.
If you don’t need that feature, Mullvad is still great…they take privacy/security seriously! That’s why they got rid of the feature I used haha.
They’ve also been put to the test and passed IMO:
