Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

Does anyone know of a good alternative to simple login? They're owned my proton too and I have about 150+ aliases to move

At least they are still on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/proton.me

But a true fediverse presence would be better

Bluesky is not much better than X despite it claiming to

Bluesky is WAY better than Twitter. It's still vulnerable to the same issues Twitter is, but someplace with no nazis is always going to be better than someplace with nazis.

I can see a company not wanting to invest resources in a social media platform without critical mass. But for a company that itself is trying to gain critical mass, moving away from a similarly situated privacy focused platform is idiotic. It signals to potential Proton users that the company cannot be trusted and it’s very hard to recover from that.

Anyone know any good vpn alternatives with port forwarding?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

AirVPN is a popular choice

I'll second this. While it doesn't have a track record like mullvad, it doesn't have a bad track record so far and I have not had any problems with it since buying.

I believe I'll need to move to mailbox.org with custom domains.

Good bye privacy.
