Wait, what's wrong with Proton Mail?
It's proprietary.
Privacy wise? Probably nothing. The company engages in shitty behavior, though, and will try to upsell you even if you're a paying costumer. I switched to Tuta because of that, and then Tuta started doing all the same bs...
I don't think OP was trying to say Proton Mail is bad or insecure. Rather the opposite.
I would also like to know, lol.
It was a terrible sub for years much before the apicalypse. It was full of apple fanboys who believed every marketing bullshit.
The real privacy nerds: paying for a service? Leaving a paper trail? Learn how to pwn grandma computers and push all your internet through that. /s
What’s the background here? Do they censor stuff?
Mention VPNs are forbidden due to spam and stuff, GrapheneOS mention forbidden because of drama
2nd part, community recommend too often just extrem stuff, not seeing that someone just moved away from Google or iOS or whatever big data service
Whats the story on GrapheneOS drama?
At least one of the devs is an arrogant, condescending prick. Remember Nick the Computer Guy from SNL? He's like 3 times worse than that. I've experienced it first hand - as in his second reply to me was to blame me: "you're doing it wrong". He's exactly like some people I worked with 30 years ago. Smh.
There's far more than that, though. In general, the Graphene team says everyone else is wrong. Classic idealist attitude.
I run DivestOS now because of that interaction, I will never use Graphene. That dev can go fuck himself with a pineapple - had enough of his kind of childishness decades ago.
Having had a disagreement with Miguel De Icaza that boiled down to him saying "Well I have these books on my shelf so I'm right" (narrator: he wasn't right, it was hilarious later).
I will never, ever touch Gnome. I get it.
I ditched reddit, and what's being described in this thread is largely part if why I left. I won't go back.
Oh I remember r/privacy, this comment is spot on. You expect something like the Linux communities where it is okay what ever you prefer. But privacy-nerds sometimes goes the spying government/tech-firms rabbit-hole to deep.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
