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

Anyone know any good vpn alternatives with port forwarding?

AirVPN is a popular choice

I'll second this. While it doesn't have a track record like mullvad, it doesn't have a bad track record so far and I have not had any problems with it since buying.

Man. Right when I was about to buy into the ecosystem and get away from google.

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

Sad news :-/

At least we have [email protected] but they're not on it I believe

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.

Uh while i dont disagree completely... most votes is for cdu (riding the strongman train hard these days)- that would be right wing dems by US-standards . Most votes for NSDAP (read:afd) since 1933 however.

You are absolutely right, I looked at the graphic wrong. Thank you for correcting me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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

This is a genuine question : how Proton stopping using Mastodon for communication make them bad ?
