One wonders why the rest of the Proton Foundation hasn't stepped in and gotten rid of Andy; I assume it's just because they don't actually care about privacy, they're just cryptonerds.

I've committed a bunch of relatives and myself to a year of the Family plan, and now most of us want to leave.. What a mess.

Protón is just a bunch of criptonazis
R*ddit 💀
Do they really need a team of people to post the same thing to X, Mastodon, BkueSky, etc? I'm honestly surprised they don't have some bot to make all the posts for them to those services. Sounds like a cop out to me.
They specifically said they don't want to do automated posting, to avoid writing and not interacting with the community. I see no value in them doing this, considering we can get the same content via RSS, blog page or email newsletter. Presence makes sense if it means presence. If it means a bot reposting content, anybody can do it, but the value is very low.
It wouldn't be hard to do simultaneous posting. People figured that out ages ago.
It's not a problem of complexity, it's a deliberate choice of not wanting to do that, because it is synthetic content disconnected from the community.
Exactly. If they need help maybe someone could create something so they can post to BlueSky, Matrix, Lemmy, and Mastadon at same time soon. Also set it up for the up and coming Flashes and Pixelfed.

@mailbox_org@[email protected] are running their own mastodon server and it's an excellent mail service provider. @[email protected] are also present on Mastodon and is likewise an excellent mail service provider.
Ouch! They really are working hard on getting any privacy oriented person to leave them.
I'm glad I have moved away from them.
Out of curiosity, where did you move from Proton?
Tuta
I was using mainly the emails from proton, I moved to mailbox.
At one point I was planning on moving my drive and VPN with them but their Linux support was really lacking, especially the CLI support so I've never done it and I'm glad I didn't.
For the VPN I'm using Mullvad integrated with tailscale, for the drive in using my own synology NAS and tailscale to connect to it.
fleeing to reddit of all place, banning any instance of discourse, much like facebook is now.
Yeah, all the scumbags who use this just for advertising only tried mastodon to see if it would have a significant amount of useful idiots.
