Is "staying out of politics" even possible for a company?
I feel even just the creation of a company already has political repercussions (and I don't mean that as in them being necessarily bad).

I've said it in another thread: German users should consider posteo as a green, safe, and affordable (1โฌ/M) alternative. https://posteo.de/de
I use and like posteo but their refusal to allow custom domain names, for in my opinion dubious reasons, should not go unmentioned.

Wow, lots of people on Lemmy just look at screenshots of text and dont read anything anymore.
I dont think he said anything controversial. Read what he wrote.
He's not supporting Trump or the Republican party in general. He is calling them out for selecting someone good on antitrust. That's not controversial.

Thank fuck I didn't get that subscription, I was looking into getting a secure mail service. I engaged with people calling proton a CIA honeypot, investigating what was up with the rumors and I was about to jump into bed with proton.
Trump's terrible politics aside:
-
the Republican party is pushing legislation which requires you to identify yourself to view porn
-
you can get around this with a VPN
-
proton is a VPN (nonprofit, but still).
I'll be switching email providers when I can... I can't remember when my subscription ends.
Does DisRoot count ? It has a myriad of services that are all FOSS tools Has a "Hub-App" on Fdroid
This. There's a bunch of great tech collectives out there. Unfortunately many require invite links. Disroot is one that lets anyone signup.

Abandoning the Proton subscription now. How stupid and irresponsible. In fact, are running away from all your principles.
