Empowering you to choose a better internet where privacy is the default. Protect yourself online with Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive. Proton Pass and SimpleLogin.

Proton VPN is the world’s only open-source, publicly audited, unlimited and free VPN. Swiss-based, no-ads, and no-logs.
Proton Calendar is the world's first end-to-end encrypted calendar that allows you to keep your life private.
Proton Drive is a free end-to-end encrypted cloud storage that allows you to securely backup and share your files. It's open source, publicly audited, and Swiss-based.
Proton Pass Proton Pass is a free and open-source password manager which brings a higher level of security with rigorous end-to-end encryption of all data (including usernames, URLs, notes, and more) and email alias support.

Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.
I'm so disappointed Proton. So sad, but maybe you already live long eniugh to become evil? Time to move on, aah so bad..It was so great piece of software and so great company in this hell capitalist world.

Ugh, I use proton for VPN and email. Any suggestions for decent VPN at this point?
I've used Mullvad for a couple of years now and they're great.
Unless you never want to torrent, I would not choose mullvad. Torrenting requires port forwarding if you properly want to give back to the community, which mullvad doesn't support.
Good bye privacy.
I really dislike these commercial "private" solutions to surveilance issues we have but people always seem to prefer them because of strong marketing around.
Another L by Proton. Why would they even say it and just stop posting silently.
Even if you agree with Proton's positions it's clear that Andy is just tanking the company's image with such rookie leadership mistakes.
Incredibly incompetence which makes you wonder how competent the actual code running everything is?
I can see a company not wanting to invest resources in a social media platform without critical mass. But for a company that itself is trying to gain critical mass, moving away from a similarly situated privacy focused platform is idiotic. It signals to potential Proton users that the company cannot be trusted and it’s very hard to recover from that.
Yeah fuck proton
due to limited ressources
Is it that hard to post the same thing on various social media? Maybe it is, I wouldn't know. But that sounds like a shitty excuse.
It looks like they're not up to date on X tho, hopefully they drop that shit. And they're on Bluesky, which, if not Mastodon, is a little bit better I guess.
I really don't get the hidden idea behind leaving Mastodon.
Honest, stupid question: Why exactly is this such a big deal to so many of you? (I don't use Mastodon.)
I understand. Why use resources on a platform that is so badly designed for new users that isn't used but to post manga and linux memes from tech nerds? If this is your reason to drop Proton then you're priorities seem a bit off imho.
Man. Right when I was about to buy into the ecosystem and get away from google.
[edit]: slightly less worried after reading this: https://lemm.ee/post/55314225
so the social media manager has time to clean the toilets in the afternoon
