Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

Honest, stupid question: Why exactly is this such a big deal to so many of you? (I don't use Mastodon.)

Proton is a CIA honeypot episode 978.

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.

Does anyone know of a good alternative to simple login? They're owned my proton too and I have about 150+ aliases to move

Addy.io

Life changing. SimpleLogin sucks so much.

I believe I'll need to move to mailbox.org with custom domains.
