It is our goal to eventually have a similar offering so that a 100% open source, freedom-respecting alternative ecosystem is available for those who want it.

Thundermail
Thundermail is an email service. We want to provide email accounts to those that love Thunderbird, and we believe that we are capable of providing a better service than the other providers out there, that aligns with our values
The thundermail domains are thundermail.com and tb.pro. I’m curious to see how they will compare to the top privacy-respecting email providers today, and how they think they will “provid[e] a better service than the other providers out there,” which would include Protonmail, Tutanota, etc.
Maybe they won’t actively support fascists🥲
They may not, but the company is physically in the USA and their servers are physically in the USA… So… We’ll see I guess.
I swear to fuck, you guys take a single thing and just run the absolute shit out of it.
Proton is run by the Proton Foundation. Andy Yen is only one of FIVE members of that board (including the literal father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee, who is a well-known proponent of internet privacy and who’s voice likely holds a lot more weight than Andy). Andy fucked up by using the official Proton account to post a personal opinion about ONE person that was NOT trump. He overexplained it later on trying (and failing horribly) to do damage control, after which the rest of the board likely told him to just shut the fuck up.
THAT’S ALL THAT HAPPENED. Proton itself is a perfectly fine service.
The guy that advocated for DRM in HTML? We should have stopped listening to him a long time ago, he’s not a god.
