Proton just dropping the ball over and over again these days. That's why I'm working on migrating from their sevices, then deleting my Proton account.

Whats the problem with creating one message and using the APIs for posting it on all social medai? With optional formatting per platform?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Because these bridges are one way only.

They will get spicy replies on niche platforms, not see them until they go viral in a bad way.

They wrote that they don't want to "write and forget" but engage with people (as they do on Reddit, for better or worse). I think it's opinable, but it sounds reasonable to me. What is the value of having an official account which just reposts one-way communication already published on the blog and on the newsletter? Anybody can build such a bot, but it's not "presence" the way I interpret it.

The only thing Proton has going for it that Tuta does not is the .onion site and even that constantly leaks to clearweb so fuck'em.

There are a few other things I miss from Proton:

  • Proton Bridge
  • nicer interface
  • better search

Yet I'm a paying Tuta customer now instead of a paying Proton customer.

I did weeks of work migrating every password and email address to proton. Sucks the stances they are taking but now I’m kinda stuck, and it’s still better than Google.

Bittwarden or KeyPassXC are good self-hosteable alternatives.

I still don't know how to feel about Proton, even with an early (and continued) email presence there. Reddit? I see this post because of lemmy.world and fedia.
