When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb

CEOs having a "who can suck off Trump best" contest?

You are missing class analysis. Fascism is good for business and wealth accumulation.

I'm toughing it out unless someone offers me a good alternative. E2EE and has this whole suite of tools. However, it's unfortunate that I use my protonmail address for my main address and not my custom domain.

We should collectively rename them to sometime like Protrum Mail, or alternatively Protoff Mail.

For my fellow German readers: An affordable green alternative to Proton hosted in Berlin is Posteo. https://posteo.de/ 1€ / month to have your mail hosted by a non-shitty company is a small price.

Thank you, I'm looking at alternatives to Proton, because they have just lost a customer.

Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.

Not wrong there…

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 40 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, that's true. But going on to say 'therefore support Trump' is ... not good.

I think it's unwise for Proton to try to support any political party. Agreeing or disagreeing with decisions and policies is fair and good; but to say "this is the party who supports the little guy" is a bullshit and unnecessarily divisive.

Wonder if he'll change his tune when Trump starts going after people using their messages?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago

What Trump really means here is "big tech has run amok they need to kiss my ring first and then they can do whatever the fuck they like". He has identified big tech companies as a key component to cement his future dictatorship and he is not wrong.

This is unbelievably disappointing. Just canceled my annual membership (which was set to renew in ~2 weeks).

Looks like I'll be moving to Tuta tomorrow.

I dont see how email delivery to non-eppie users is going to work with that.

Maan, reddit doesn't load either. Why are all these conversations happening on sites that block Tor? I can't read the source anywhere.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 8 hours ago

archive.pH doesn't load. Mastodon thread doesn't load. Anyone got an archive we can actually load?

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Why are there no reports and outrage over the pick of Gail Slater? Doesn't she fit the standard outrage mold? She does seem to be pretty vehemetly anti-big tech. She has driven monopoly cases against VISA, Google and Apple. Surprisingly sober choice as assistant attorney general.

If this is suppose to be "Full MAGA", then i don't understand where you draw lines.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I don't know enough about her to evaluate her fairly atm, but those don't sound like the worst goals. It's just assumption that she'll be horrible because Trump picked her. I would like to believe it's a blind squirrel finding a nut scenario, but that's going to take time to see.

Fuck Proton than.

What's a good alternative I can use?

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

God damnit. I just swotched to Proton this week

[–] Covenant@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

Yeah same for me. I took the blackfriday deal... Now i have a year to find an alternative.
