What did they keep?

I switched to StartMail, I'm officially done with ProtonMail. Are you even kidding me, how just how...

I'm disappointed...I tried to not care about this CEO supporting Trump, but come on...now they ditch Mastodon, tomorrow they close source their clients...I'm losing trust to them, I used to think about them as knights in this capitalist world, but well. As someone once said "You either live and die as a legend, or live long enough to become evil". I don't want it to happen but yeah, I guess we all gotta find a good replacement for Proton services, sad but it is what it is.

Because they can control the dialog on reddit

Aww, is someone booty blasted they can't control the dialog no more?

I’m sad too. But I think it’s quite logical given people that use Mastodon probably already know or heard of proton. Marketing is particularly effective for people that don’t know of them (at least while they are small)

people were using the vpn to evade reddit bans, but even reddit does not like vpn users anymore.
