I really liked Proton and I tried really hard to get into it’s ecosystem, but thet keep prioritizing new products instead of focusing on the already stablished ones, or giving support to Linux. I don’t really need e2e encryption for my mail but I get why they work with it and it is a nice bonus for me, on the other hand the side effects are a constant friction point and they do not offer an e2e way, I would really want to have another mail or calendar app but I cant.
They products evolve very little over time, even for a “small” company (not that small anymore, not big, but they do have some resources). They release a product, and the updates are late, small or non critical. I get in some way why they work like this, but it is another friction point for me.
And they are expensive, I really get they are a business and that what they offer isnt cheap, but at least for me, the price is more of what I expect from their service. They try to conceal this by offering a package of services that you may or may not need, and its cool to have some of these services at your disposal if you need them, but I am paying for them and most of the time I don’t use them becuase they are barebone or because I don’t need them that much.
For me, the point of no return was this black friday’s sale, they shrink the offer by prorating it to your current cycling bill. If you are a free user you wont notice this, but if you are a paying customer and you want an upgrade (mine was from ultimate to duo), they will cut the offer to fit in your current cycling bill, the offer is still exactly the same and its not a bad discount, but instead of giving you the full year of the offer they will offer the discounted price until your next billing period, so if you were to renew with them in a couple of months you barely will get a discount because they will discount for only those two month, then they will charge you full price.
Sorry for the rant, I’m switching to Mailfence and keeping SimpleLogin, anyone has feedback from Mailfence?
Oh right, so since you don’t know it then this must be advertisement.
Also funny that you are questioning OPs research when he is already using this service and was just trying to get opinions in a privacy focused forum.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though since you are from .ml
I’m an .ml user who uses Proton stuff and I just want to butt in here and say you come across as a deranged weirdo. I can’t wait for your insightful reply, though. I’m sure it will be very normal and not weird.
You could have answered my comment and instead you went full idiot… Oh well…
Oops, ratioed.
This isn’t reddit brother.
Which is precisely why you’re getting ratioed.
Go back to reddit and you’ll fare better. Lemmy is for folks with a brain, ideally.
LOL that’s completely false since you are here too 🤣🤣
The most boomer energy. You strike me as someone who uses Facebook daily. It’s almost too easy with you.
Ah nice, I love when people start to make nonsensical guesses about me from my comments, it tells clearly how they don’t eve know what to say anymore 😂😂😂
I asked a question. You sure are belligerent. I thought I left the toxicity when I left reddit. Not everything has to be an argument. Chill.
Well, then you chose the wrong instance if you were trying to leave toxicity.
There’s an irony to this, given how you started frothing at the mouth and spewing toxicity when someone mentioned Proton.
Now you’re my toy.
Don’t cry, it’s not my fault if proton sucks and needs to be called out.
