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

Honest, stupid question: Why exactly is this such a big deal to so many of you? (I don't use Mastodon.)

What ashame, I thought the CEO should be poked in the eye with a blunt stick for his Trump support but I would've kept with Proton if the business and his personal views were kept seperate

It appears this is no longer the case, at least proton provides a lot of decent services I don't mind abusing for free now.

I believe I'll need to move to mailbox.org with custom domains.

Just another nail in the coffin that hopefully convinces those who thought Proton was maybe still okay after CEO licking Trumps toes.

Not that they'll care but I bought for two years but will find something else when that runs out.

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.
