I knew something bad was about to happen the second they stopped being a non-profit. I was just moving to Proton, is it too soon to de-Proton?

    @lostinsignal@tilvids.com Move away from Proton! There's lots of good alternatives that are often better too! Not to mention, their CEO also happens to be a big GOP supporter + loves Trump, which combined with their LLM fanaticism (and honestly their attitude too, what the hell, calling your employees "losers" should not be allowed!), it's very bad.If you want email, mailbox.org, posteo (both German ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช), and Fastmail (Australian ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ) are awesome alternatives. Disroot (Dutch ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ) is decent if you want a free email service, it's oriented at activists, has a no logs policy, and, in order to prevent abuse and spam, they manually verify each signup. As for passwords, use KeePass stuff (ChiPass is a fork of KeePassXC and a bit better in my eyes, KeePassDX if you use Android, KeePassium if you use iOS, Syncthing to have the same passwords on all devices), for cloud storage, you should use Nextcloud (either a public instance or self-hosted!), and IVPN is a good alternative to Proton VPN (avoid Mullvad as they are supporting a racist Swedish party)
