Okay, now #Proton is out. @Tutanota is in. Transition was smooth & easy. Getting DNS transferred over for my custom domains was a breeze. Imports all worked. Apps seem decent. White label worked as advertised. So far so good.

@tomasino @Tutanota Not trying to be argumentative or defend Proton....but why? Proton gave up billing information, something they are legally bound to do.

I get that Tutanota is in a different country....but if you pay in a way that isn't anon, won't you have the same issue?

@gedvondur @tomasino @Tutanota I guess the fact that their CEO is Trump supporter is still echoing around internet. They try to silence it down, and probably tought him to keep his opinions to himself, but damage already was done.

@oleksify @tomasino @Tutanota Oooh, I was unaware of his political affiliations. That sucks.

@gedvondur @oleksify @tomasino @Tutanota To be fair, he didn’t endorse Trump, he commented on the nomination of Gail Slater for the DoJ antitrust division. I don’t know enough about Slater but from a cursory look it doesn’t seem like a controversial nomination, so I think some context around what actually was said may be important here (that said, I fully endorse Tuta! I only wish they had a VPN and Authenticator app too!)

@MarioTorre @gedvondur @oleksify @tomasino @Tutanota He did endorse the Republican party though: https://archive.ph/quYyb

The same political statement was repeated by official channels multiple times: https://archive.ph/LlbSj

In his original tweet, also seen in the above link, he also praised Trump for this pick, despite Gail previously working for a big tech lobbying group that fought against privacy rights: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/s/1TLRffxABM , while criticizing democrats for that very thing in the official statement

He later stated "[I] apologize if this triggered some people", which is verbiage typically associated with conservative bubbles: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/s/h6r8PcQmVJ (later edited, as pointed out below)

I also find it interesting that his Reddit username is /u/andy1011000, the binary number being equivalent to 88

This all can be interpreted in a number of ways. But personally it makes me feel a bit iffy about supporting his company.

@engideer @gedvondur @oleksify @tomasino @Tutanota Hmm, this is indeed very jarring

@MarioTorre
When it comes to Authenticator/Password Manager, you should rely on offline solutions like Aegis and KeepassXC and synchronize it yourself to be extra sure, that your data only belongs to you. I like the setup of Keepass and Syncthing to synchronize between devices.

@ice40 FreeOTP is the “golden standard” for Authenticators I think
