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!

One thing I saw was lacking in the comments here are some alternatives (Some were named, more self-hosted options, which can be good for a person, but not always)...

RiseUp.net and Disroot.org both are ran by collectives, and both protect your privacy. RiseUp has a log of how they've done so, as well.

I'm not going to switch away from them just yet... But I am going to start using an address with my own domain. My only regret is not doing this from the beginning.

Welp, the moment that it comes out that proton will be giving away everything I’ll move on, but not sure what to move to. Seemed like proton is the most secure and most user friendly, is there anything else we can use?

I've been using Tutanota and Mullvad for like a decade now without any issues.

Tutanota in particular, feels like it's gotten a lot better in the last year or so. The inbox loads a lot faster and you can show sender info in the notification.

The entirety of the tech space is basically mask off fascist Trump/Musk simps

It's almost understandable to bend the knee in the hopes of avoiding the coming purges, but this goes well beyond just seeking corporate survival. Genuinely disgusting. It looks like the way forward for Proton will be lit by the bridges they're burning.

Oh damn. I was hoping proton had another good 20 years before some limp-dick ceo started with this shit.

I guess that makes tuta the company to beat?

Let's see if he keeps Leena Khan if he's so anti trust

Mailbox.org

Any good alternative to proton services? For mail I have tuta so far, but they cover only that part and the webmail UX in tuta is actually worse for the free tier.
