Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

Damn, this sucks. I fled Google for Proton and use it for email, files, and my own domain email.

I’m not sure what’s worse, kissing the ring or taking that Trump post seriously. He obviously did not write it, and he also obviously only makes statements like this to threaten others and secure their loyalty. Here we are a month later, and some of the richest tech bros in the country are expected at his inauguration.

Glad I changed my stack over a few months ago:

  • Proton Mail → Posteo
  • Proton VPN → Mullvad VPN
  • Proton Drive → Syncthing

I'd also recommend KeePassXC in place of Proton Pass, and Cake Wallet in place of Proton Wallet. However, these were both Proton services I never used anyway.

I was just going to start my de-google to Proton. Time for a new plan.

Self hosting is better these days.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago

Very carefully

Proton Mail --> Mail-In-A-Box

Proton Calender --> Mail-In-A-Box

Proton Drive --> Mail-In-A-Box

Proton VPN --> Mullvad VPN

Proton Pass --> Bitwarden/KeePass+Mail-In-A-Box

Proton Wallet --> Stick with your cryptos base wallet app. Never give your private keys to any service.
