I just canceled my Proton mail account.

Going to start using my new @Tutanota account.

Thanks to @TheJen for opening my eyes about Proton and pushing AI. Which I had no clue about.

@the_infamous @Tutanota @TheJen
Hi Infamous, I use both Tuta and Proton, and do not know where you are coming from on this. I checked out Jan for more than a month of messages and see nothing at all on this topic.
I prefer Proton because they never post bad things about competitors (unlike Tuta) - the negative advertising really puts me off trusting a company.
@IncHulk @the_infamous @Tutanota You checked my account for posts about Proton? I never claimed to be an expert. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Also that's weird. And my name isn't Jan.
@TheJen @the_infamous @Tutanota Thanks Jen, sorry for my bad eyesight on your name, that is bad of me not to be more careful.
I thought the post-boost from Tuta was weird as well, starting to think it might just be another negative-advertising (as I say, this is what puts me off trusting Tuta, despite their good product).
@IncHulk @the_infamous @Tutanota This is all personal preference, not a deep dive into the relative pros and cons of the respective products. Use what you want, I don't care.
@TheJen @IncHulk @the_infamous @Tutanota
This is Jan.
Did you accidentally get some responses today, TheJen, that were intended for me?
Could you pleez forward them?
K.
Tks,
Jan
@Guillotine_Jones @TheJen @the_infamous @Tutanota
No other responses arrived. Nobody seems to back up anything about pushing AI.
@IncHulk
...And yet they keep pushing, Inc Hulk.
@Guillotine_Jones Ah, so you are the source of this. I have never seen it, so where are you getting this idea from?
@IncHulk
Jan here, again.
I, Jan, am just an Ai bot.
So when I don't have any facts to pass along, Inc Hulk, I just fabricate or hallucinate some.
Hope that answers your questions, which are some of the best I have ever gotten from anyone, ever.
So tell me, Inc Hulk, are you currently seeing anyone?
@Guillotine_Jones OK, I will report you for falsely spreading fake news. I guess that is your intention?
@IncHulk
Pleez tell me that you don't really intend to report me, Inc Hulk, for what were intended as obviously facetious posts, or I will have to ask you again if you're currently seeing anyone.
@Guillotine_Jones OK - You posted that Proton was pushing AI - and Tuta foolishly picked it up and reposted as negative advertising (to which I very object strongly, it is a trump-approach). As far as I can tell, you fabricated and unfairly blamed Jen.
Unless I have misunderstood, this is very unpleasant of you and needs to be reported, unless you post a retraction of course.

@IncHulk
Very well, Inc Hulk -- if that IS your real name -- a retraction you shall have, and I assure you that it IS both real and sincere:

1) "You posted that Proton was pushing AI..."
Sir, if you are a man, madam, if you are not, a comment by @the_infamous higher in this thread is the only one I can find about Proton pushing Ai.
Since I didn't make that claim, I feel awkward retracting it, but you have politely asked for a retraction, and I freely give it.

2) "Tuta foolishly picked it up and reposted as negative advertising..."
I am no more responsible for the actions of Tuta than I am for the posts of @the_infamous. But a retraction you have asked for, and a retraction you now have. (Full disclosure: I am not associated in any way with Tuta, other than having once signed up for a Tuta account in an attempt to migrate away from Gmail, and also I follow Tuta on the Fediverse.)

3) "(to which I very object strongly, it is a trump-approach)."
I fully support your right to object however you want to anything done by Trump or any of its spellings or capitalizations. In fact, because I am myself a sufferer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, I reflexively object to anything he, they, his regime, his cabinet, his offspring, his wife, his agents or persons he has assigned have done, are now doing, or will do in the future.

4) "As far as I can tell, you fabricated and unfairly blamed Jen."
Yes, I DID fabricate "Jan," NOT, "TheJen."
I don't recall blaming either Jen or TheJen for anything.
But if I did, I retract anything I might have said or written about Jen or TheJen, and wish to express contrition for having done so.
As to "Jan," though it pains me to do so, I retract any statements that I made as me pretending to be Jan, and I apologize to you and to the fictitious character Jan, that I made up.

5) "Unless I have misunderstood, this is very unpleasant of you and needs to be reported, unless you post a retraction of course."
Since I am incapable of truly knowing what you understand or misunderstand, I will merely apologize for being unpleasant and strive to be less so in the future.
I hope you will find this retraction quenches your thirst to file a report, and that you will feel heard and in receipt of the respect that is your due.
May we now all, each in our own way, respect our purity of essence and conserve our precious bodily fluids.
Ramen.
Bong hits 4 Jesus.

@Guillotine_Jones @the_infamous
Many Thanks. I will make sure Tuta are aware.

@Guillotine_Jones I have already apologized for my post. When she mentioned pushing AI, I thought she was talking about the Private AI app Lumo, which is part of Proton's suite. I meant no harm in the post. I was just mentioning I was switching to Tuta Mail.
