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.

    Any good VPN other than Proton? Almost every one is going down the enshitification route and I’m looking for an alternative.

      I think the most common alternatives I see recommended are Mullvad and IVPN. Both have a great track record, but also both lack port forwarding if that is an essential feature for you.

    Man this community has become a Proton bitching party.

    You’re all exaggerating. This thing with the tweet is WAY overblown.

      It’s not just about a single issue, the company has changed significantly over the past 8 years. It has grown too large and now offers many products that I don’t use. As a result, it no longer aligns with my needs, and I’ve decided to take more control, similar to when I stopped using Gmail. I’m not suggesting you should stop using it, I’m just making a personal choice that works for me.
