When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb
Can Trump's incoming administration really be said to stand "for the little guys" when it's full of millionaires and billionaires?

And... now I have to get out of Proton. Not USA citizen, just a leftist from South America, but not gonna accept fascism in any country, neither will I support enablers of it.

If there's a way for the rest of Proton to force him out, now would be a good time to save face.

Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.
Not wrong there…

Shit, I was literally about to open a Proton account as part of my degoogling this weekend.
Ok, new plan. Sigh.

I was just permabanned for making this comment.
Reddit is in full censorship mode over this. Oh well not the first time, certainly not the last.

I migrated my custom domains to Tuta and canceled my Proton subscription as a result of all of this.
And Proton had fucking better give me a prorated refund.

Way different stance than 8 years ago.
I checked archive and it wasn’t saved to the wayback machine so I added it in case proton deletes it. https://web.archive.org/web/20250115163936/https://proton.me/blog/trump-control-nsa-privacy
That’s a nice one to rub Andy’s nose in. I’ll put that one in my cancellation note.

By the “little guys” he means himself.
By himself he means corporate CEOs.

This is unbelievably disappointing. Just canceled my annual membership (which was set to renew in ~2 weeks).
Looks like I'll be moving to Tuta tomorrow.

I wouldn't say he's being "Maga", but this is some "Libertarian" dumb fuck that has no clue what's happeneing in politics.
If you scroll through his twitter, he did praise some things that Biden did, so it seems like he might just be bootlicking whoever is in power as appeasement
Edit: He also seems to be pro-Ukraine and supports the activists in Hong Kong, so basically a Libertarian that leans to the political right. (And also being a huge dumbass)

Wow, lots of people on Lemmy just look at screenshots of text and dont read anything anymore.
I dont think he said anything controversial. Read what he wrote.
He's not supporting Trump or the Republican party in general. He is calling them out for selecting someone good on antitrust. That's not controversial.

Well thats a fuckin shame.
Good to know. Bye Proton.
You can generally tell what way someone leans when they say "Dems" but spell out "Republicans".

PROTIP: Canceling your subscription gives you a place to tell them how you feel (even if you don't end up following through with it).
But damn, where to go from here? Self hosting my own email server and password manager is a little out of my wheel house.

For my fellow German readers: An affordable green alternative to Proton hosted in Berlin is Posteo. https://posteo.de/ 1€ / month to have your mail hosted by a non-shitty company is a small price.
