We're consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit

Please tell us that you're not moving away from Lemmy/Mbin too. There's a gigantic tonedeafness to asking your supporters to use centralized social media at this specific time that's hard to accept you're not realizing.

Proton did not praise Trump. Their CEO praised a choice Trump made. You're obviously free to consider Yen's word equal to Proton's word but this isn't true for everybody.

They are like Apple: telling people what they want to hear about privacy, and we all swallowed the pill.

Unlike Apple, Proton's software being open source (and by extension their promises) can be vetted by anybody with the skills.

Yens words were then published on the official proton blog and taken down after backlash as a "mistaken communication". Believe what you want.

Also, their servers are closed source. Having an open source client is cute though 👍

As encryption happens client side I think its a little bit more than cute.
