This makes me 😭

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

I did the exact same thing.

When I saw Fastmail with aliasing features (beyond just using a catch-all with my domain) included in their $30/yr plan I couldn’t switch fast enough.

I guess Proton thinks they can rest on their name (which, admittedly, is a good one). But why pay for simplelogin + Proton when others do exactly what I need?
