Alice: How long has Andy been CEO of Proton, and was he always a dick?
-
@donn_castaneda I don't *want* to stop using Proton—I like the products (mostly)—but I think we need to be loud and direct about the fact that having shitty management is a business risk, and we *will* not only stop giving them our money, but also insist our friends stop too.
@alice I also didn't want to, but I planned for the contingency anyway. This is not the first bad sign, rather the latest and one that disqualifies Proton for me as a customer. Migrating all the aliases is gonna be a pain, but what can you do?
It's really frustrating that choosing a provider that isn't racist, fascist, homo- or transphobic etc. for anything feels like a game of whack-a-mole.

Lumo¹: *hostile framing detected*
Lumo: I wouldn't call Andy a...
Lumo: *search results returned*
Lumo: ...oh, oh wow, he *is* a dick.¹ Lumo is Proton's AI that no one wanted, but everyone got bundled into their account anyway.
@alice
To me, this reasoning also shows that Lumo might be biased (but this could also be because I'm no native speaker). -
