    They said they didn’t have the resources to manage their Mastodon account, yet they can manage 12 other social media accounts 😂

    I think we all know that their excuse was a lie.

    Any mail service that supports PGP encryption at rest, like mailbox, is better than proprietary solutions like Tuta or Proton, as it lets you manage your own encryption key, and use any client you want.

    Proton was born out of a desire to build an internet that puts people before profits, create a world where everyone is in control of their digital lives, and make digital freedom a reality.

    I honestly think it’s not that weird. Bluesky is what took off. Doesn’t mean it’s right, but it makes sense.

      Nah, they had more followers on Mastodon than on Bluesky when they left (and even now). It was because they were getting roasted on Mastodon after CEO’s comments and other stuff like adding a crypto wallet.

        I mean tbf they have Brave as their 9th suggestion (out of 10). I would prefer that they just didn’t have it but yeah.

        They’ve also removed the Gnoppix stuff, which is a bit weird. But mega ick either way.

        A bit of a shame since I bought a year sub after switching away from Proton last year due to the ceo mask slipping

          I like how they recommend Zen in their Firefox forks list despite the creator/main contributor seemingly having little understanding of security. The UI is nice though I guess.

          Maybe I’ll just use mailbox.org or encrypt my emails with addy.io at this point :|

            Selfhosting for you and a few other people is the way of the future, for everything.

              It’s very much not. There are plenty of people who do not only not have the knowledge (and the time, interest or even ability to learn) to self-host anything, but who also don’t know anyone who does. That’s probably a majority of people, actually. We need privacy-respecting, open alternatives that function as drop-in replacements and that are just as intuitive and easy to use as corporate offerings. Otherwise the future is corporate shit.

                So you mean like lemmy… where a lot of people selfhost instances for themselves and a few to many other people?

                  I’d argue that Lemmy and the wider fediverse aren’t simple and effortless enough as they are right now. There’s a reason that Bluesky took off when Mastodon didn’t.

      One thing that Proton does better than Tuta - allowing PGP encryption. Like, if you want to send an encrypted Message with Tuta, to someone who doesn’t have a Tuta account, it needs to be a link and a password.

      The idea of E-Mail is that it should be as vendor agnostic as possible. Tuta has a walled garden vibe. Securely e2e with other tuta users, but unencrypted with pretty much everyone else.

      Though it also took quite a while for Proton Mail to integrate PGP properly.
