Proton will no longer post on Mastodon

Smells like non technical reasons

Follow us on Reddit

That's where you lost me. Not for now, for good.

Does this have anything to do with the CEO expressing his support for Trump? I can't imagine how, but there are some odd decisions being made at Proton lately.

"We hate that our CEO keeps getting called out and slammed by our followers so we're gonna stick our fingers in our ears"

Also good time to remind everyone Tuta exists :) https://tuta.com/

Btw, their Mastodon account has more followers than their Bluesky and Threads accounts combined, both of which they are keeping. What a stupid decision.

"Privacy is important, so you can follow our latest updates exclusively on the platforms that don't give a shit about privacy"

Proton can now officially go fuck themselves.

First, their CEO supports Trump. Then this, ditching Mastodon in favour of nazi-Twitter. Proton is not safe anymore and people need to migrate away ASAP.

If Proton does not refer to the Steam's Windows adapter layer for Linux, I don't care.

due to limited resources

Either:

• We have lost our password
• Our C and V keys are broken and we can not copy paste our social media messages anymore

Damn, reddit, really? That sucks 🙁

Whats the problem with creating one message and using the APIs for posting it on all social medai? With optional formatting per platform?

Since I have found it historically hard to engage on this (broader) subject around here, just yesterday I put together my own thoughts at https://loudwhisper.me/blog/proton-fediverse-burnout/

Personally, I did not see the value of their Mastodon presence, it was write only marketing communication, no engagement with the community anyway. That happened only ever on Reddit, which I think is going to continue being the case.

They push the same info via email newsletter, if someone really wants that stuff.

Either way, the post above covers my take on the whole drama, not just this last small chapter.

Moving all my shit across Outlook to Proton took forever, I swear I'll shoot a mf if I have to move email providers AGAIN

I liked electrons and neutrons better anyways....

Fuck Proton.

I still don't know how to feel about Proton, even with an early (and continued) email presence there. Reddit? I see this post because of lemmy.world and fedia.

Proton doing shady proton things again. Who would have guessed that.

Will be missed /s

Well, read comments under their latest posts on Mastodon. Solid shitstorm of 9 Beaufort since more than a month.

This is the second VPN that has gone shitty on me...

Why not on Nostr? No any freaked admin, etc
