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

Your options are mostly Proton, or Tuta. One is located in a country that's part of the 14 Eyes, and who just had an election where the far-right party just won the most amount of votes.

EDIT: THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS WRONG, IN THAT THE AFD CAME IN SECOND PLACE, NOT FIRST.

Only thing keeping me from leaving is the low price I'm paying for proton unlimited.

Nothing of value has been lost

I‘ve been quite tolerant sine now, but this goes to far to leave a mostly left platform.

Does anyone know if its possible to leave Proton and get my money back, as Im in a plan for a couple of months.

Sad news :-/

At least we have !protonprivacy@lemmy.world but they're not on it I believe

[–] nunesgh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

They didn't even post about this decision! What a shame!

I suggest voting on the following Proton's UserVoice idea I have just created. This may be the only way of getting their attention.
