I think leaving would be an over reaction.

Edit: I hope all of you downvoters don’t use WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google Search, Android, iOS, Amazon, etc, etc. Otherwise, you’re a bunch of hypocrites. Every single major tech CEO gave Trump $1 million and SAT at his inauguration.

honesty seems like a overreaction, if proton’s goals and actions don’t change I’m fine with staying (even if I disagree with trump). it’s one person on the board not the entire company as well. however I have considered leaving proton due to bad linux support and no de-googled notifications. afaia proton is the cheapest for what I use it for (vpn+mail+email aliasing+drive (barely using it due to no Linux client)), please tell me if I’m wrong. protonvpn has port fowarding support which I use to host servers sometimes.

I am still with proton since the owners being pricks doesn’t change the reasons why I like them for my email: They have made it clear what they will and won’t give to authorities and I can act accordingly.

That said, I did look into going mullivad+tuta but decided against it. Since tuta requires you to use their desktop client if you want an “offline” copy of their emails and that just seems like a mess when they inevitably do something shitty and I need to wait for “support” to get back to me for why I can’t download my emails and go elsewhere. Whereas I can just keep the bridge running and open thunderbird every week or two with proton.
