Proton will no longer post on Mastodon - eviltoast
Proton: “We’re consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit for the latest updates: Reddit - Dive into anything”. This is unexpected, as they had around 50k subscribers on Mastodon, and mirroring posts is super easy. I find that concerning that they stopped posting on open and decentralized platform, but keep posting on Meta and X.

    They’ve still a loong way to go to match Proton’s product suite though, as they only offer Email, Contacts and Calendar for now

    honestly that’s a plus for me, I’d rather they focus on a small set of products and do really well with them. before I left Proton I was wary of their scope creep, and then the crypto wallet shit

      Funny that the crypto wallet also upset people in the space who like crypto. Because crypto, IF USED CORRECTLY, can be a privacy tool (because it is the main way to pay online that can be utilized without KYC). However, such people got upset not just with Proton broadening their product scope for no reason, but also the fact that Monero was not even considered, despite it having built-in privacy protections unlike Bitcoin, and overall being agreed on as today’s “digital cash”.
