Proton is still a great product.. easy to switch away from Google, especially if you don't have the time to self host or manage the complexity of 5 different services. I am aware of recent discussion, and have decided for myself that overreacting is not necessary, though that's up to you :)

There should be bands for any niveau, you can play in a band once you master about 3 chords imo :D Heavily depends on the band, so you have to find one that's right for you. Happy searching!

And that's completely fine, I understand. They fucked up, apparently they aren't big enough to have a decent PR team or something. What I am arguing is that whenever proton comes up, even just the name, no matter what's the context, people are digging up the tweet again! They just can't let it be and go out of their way to post it again and again. It is so tiring. Just have a normal conversation about the topic of the article please.

I don't even mind ads that much, for me it's more about the algorithms that push certain agendas and are not open source (for ads and content alike)

Another such article, is it really so difficult to have proper journalism anymore? Opinionated.. We really have to bash again and again because of a mistake, disregarding years of good work? I know it's difficult for Americans to trust anything nowadays, but please get a hold of yourself..

:D apparently yes. it's still sad to see. There wasn't a single post done by proton that didn't immediately derail into people blaming about "the issue", and they just couldn't stop. Not a fun time, and there isn't anything the company can do to convince these people otherwise, they are just a lost in hate

I honestly mostly read here. But at some point you have to take a stance, and this constant buggering triggered me. Nobody has new arguments, riding the same train again and again: One tweet that didn't read well, definitely, but which is interpreted at the worst outcome possible. The company "doubling down", which they explained, but again interpreted as worst possible outcome, not believing a word they are saying. So, why? People are seeing black and white, not believing anything, which destroys more than it helps. It's a good european company with a history of privacy that has an awesome product, especially when moving away from Google without much effort. And that's much more important than this fuckn tweet!

There really is always one person when proton comes up :D Please stop seeing this black and white, it does not help. Proton stays neutral ..

Soo.. maybe I'm not the shrill account, but rather the people discrediting proton are working for Google? Just a thought..

Imo it's more like leaving the town full of bullies.. completely understandable, I would do the same. Insane amount of hate, for one mistake. People can only see black and white these days..
