And getting close to reaching 30k followers! 🎉🤩

#Mastodon #Tuta

@Tutanota I saw this post on Bluesky first and it bullied me into opening Mastodon 🔫
@Tutanota what services are leaving?
(I really don't know)
@dalinarkholin Proton due to the sheer toxicity in the Fediverse
@Gabriel How were they toxic? /srs

@Azarilh After some thought, I think calling it toxicity might have been an overstatement.

In reality, lots of individuals were criticizing Proton arguing it is under heavy US influence because the CEO, Andy Yen, made some bold posts on Xitter and the subsequent community backlash on Reddit.

I'm not really sure to what extent I can really blame those people for being upset at the CEO's behavior, however, what they remarkably fail to understand is that Proton is way more than some spicy tweets.

@dalinarkholin @Tutanota Me neither, I'd like to know as well?
@dalinarkholin @Tutanota Most likely referring to ProtonMail leaving Mastodon.

@dalinarkholin @Tutanota

Proton Mail (and other Proton services)

@sintrenton @dalinarkholin @Tutanota Proton? Haha. Just when we thought it couldn't get much worse from them. Good riddance!

@Tutanota Next stop:
- Reddit to Lemmy (support forum)?
- Accept Monero directly (not proxystore)
- Onion/I2P?

Even Proton has onion and accepts BTC, not to mention Disroot, Cock, etc. (addy.io accepts Monero). But you can outrun Proton by accepting Privacy coin! Go Tuta :D

@Tutanota This is a reference to this story for anyone who doesn't know. For anyone degoogling who is weighing up between different email platforms, this could be a reason to reconsider going with proton

@Tutanota First Mozilla, now...
@Tutanota Thanks for, you know, not being evil. 🫶
@Tutanota
Just waiting for my Proton subscription to expire in a few months before I start paying you guys!

@Tutanota love that y'all are here, and love even more that when I make a bug report I quickly hear back from good human beings involved in the project

Hope you have a lovely day Mr/Ms tuta social media person :)

@Tutanota Hell yeah! Please don't leave unless it's just to NOSTR 🤣🤣
@Tutanota why would anyone leave the Fediverse
@ben @Tutanota Protonmail fled to Reddit where they can delete stuff after speaking out for right extremes and getting backlash for it.
@Tutanota
Just don't let the boss do something so fucked up, (or better, don't have a boss like that at all,) and you're golden.
@Tutanota
Das könntet ihr für die sicherlich große deutsche Gemeinde auch in Deutsch veröffentlichen. Für etliche Menschen in meinem Umfeld ist Englisch eine nennenswerte Hürde. Wollt ihr diese Menschen ausschließen?
@Tutanota
Now closer to 30k by one more person! 😊
I have a burning question. What do you think is the likelihood that Germany or EU will eventually require a backdoor on your platform? How would you respond?

@Tutanota
1. Company joins Mastodon;
2. They barely interract on Mastodon;
3. Complains not many people follow them;
4. Leaves.

That's the average Mastodon complainer, i swear. You interract a lot and in fact you got lots of followers. Glad you are here.

@Tutanota
And the most important thing, they are your followers and cannot simply be blocked and or removed.

Network resilience. Thanks for sticking around!

@Tutanota for me it's a major benefit that you're actively communicating here, it shows a culture of embracing the open source community. There are some inconveniences in the mail app (search, labels, conversation view, different protocol than PGP) but overall it's a great product that I recommend. Mainly because of your openness and responsiveness, also on Github, and the improvements you keep making to the app. And I love that you keep sustainability in mind too. Keep up the good work!
@Tutanota Would it be possible for your verify your Mastodon account (ie: the green tick), so that we know that this is really you?

An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

@sundew It's verified.

@Tutanota The verification isn't working quite right - it's ok on mastodon.social, but not other servers (infosec.exchange and beige.party, for example)

This might be because the HTML code for your verification link lacks the rel="me" attribute, which is important according to some instructions?

Here's the snippet of your page's source code:
<a data-hk="s20-0-0-3-0" href="https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="footer-icon " title="Mastodon">

@sundew Thanks, we'll look into this.
