I don’t use their mail much, but this will get me to switch vpn to mullvad. I just wish the price was similar, proton had some sales to make it fairly cheap.

You guys know you don’t have to follow businesses on social media, right‽ Like, it’s all just different flavors of their own advertisements, and you can just not interact.

I think this is the last strike for me, where do you go from Proton, I know for vpns I’ll likely be looking at mullvad, but what about passwords/email/calendar/drive?

I quite liked the setup for creating individual email addresses per service and used that heavily, which I assume will make this transition painful.

Privacy focused company move off privacy respecting service and suggest following them on privacy nightmare service. Are they trying to kill any trust in their own company?

This is unexpected, as they had around 50k subscribers on Mastodon, and mirroring posts is super easy.

1000% this. It’s easy to mirror, so the idea that “it’s too hard, boo hoo” is cover for something else. Given the recent diatribes by the head, this just seems like more indication that Proton is going to play ball with authoritarians (or at least ultracapitalists, who are bosom buddies with the authoritarians).
