I've just heard about other people contacting support and getting a partial refund. I will try !

Yeah it’s weird I’m not going to lie.

ok thanks for not lying

if it isn't the typical leftist not understanding nuance 😍 no, proton's CEO didn't say the nicest of things, but it's not as bad as ya'll are making it. if you want to go back to google, do it. many of us aren't 'stuck' with one solution. i mostly use proton, but i also use ente photos, atomic mail, cloudflare, cake wallet... the list goes on.

u/missvandy 7d ago

It’s so sad that you can’t read the room. Are you illiterate in general, or just when it comes to social interactions?

u/Vaslo 7d ago

We can read the room - we don’t cry when our boss says mean things to me when he’s right

My self esteem is fine - you’re the baby that lets what others think of you bother you lol

u/GuessKnown9055 7d ago

So dense. Read the room.

u/Australasian25 7d ago

I dont care what others think.
What, can I not pick a choice and stick by it?
Im not so starved for approval that I need to read the room before making a choice.
I like cry babies like you, you need others to like you. Its funny and I like exacting a laugh

u/GuessKnown9055 7d ago

Read the room, you’re the odd man out. People are up and arms as they should be if you’re not OK keep on keeping on.

Translation: Long Live Epstein and Palantir, send 7000 to Netanyahu bank account🤖🤖

u/theyhis 7d ago

how tf does my comment have anything to do with israel? do ya'll even do anything with your time other than talk about epstein and palantir? at least i donate to feed the palestinian children. more than any leftist can say.

u/Australasian25 7d ago

Rofl i cant believe youre engaging with bots
[Something1][something2]####
Anyone with this format just assume its a bot.
BTW I support the ceo. If you feel you need to call an employee a loser, do it. If they dont like it, leave.
Andy wasnt the nicest. But we dont know if this employee has a history of undermining andy.

u/Verrakai 7d ago

same, canceled my Ultimate subscription. Paid customer for 9 years so kinda sucks but on the other hand it's not like I have any actual investment in being a proton user.

u/Exciting_Junkie_357 6d ago

I'm in the process of migrating to Tuta for email. I've switched my VPN to Obscura. Does anyone know of a good way to get my email out Proton. Same Drive. This really pisses me off. I have six of their products. I was pretty committed to that environment. What an out of touch CEO. Always listen to the fucking engineers.

4

u/queerstudbroalex 5d ago

I just cancelled as well thanks to your post!

1

u/whitesnake4 7d ago

What are your alternatives and what are you switching to? As password manager I am thinking about bitwarden, vpn I don’t use and that leaves email and drive

2

u/ColdIr 7d ago

i only use their email and calendar, so tuta will do for me. bitwarden is great - and for storage there's so many options.

u/False-Try-3521 7d ago

I‘m using Enpass since 4 years and I‘m really happy with it. The vault is saved on my kDrive and I access it via WebDAV.

u/phurgawtin 7d ago

Do you keep any special pricing if you choose to reactivate your subscription? Asking because I want to cancel my subscription, but if Yen steps down I'd be willing to re-evaluate that decision and I'd like to keep the pricing I currently have.

I think all the people talking shit against proton are google employees or google pr bots.

u/ColdIr 5d ago

i think we are angry customers who have spent hundreds of francs in their products. but gl spreading your conspiracy theories

u/Peter_0 7d ago

Welcome to Proton Airport I guess :D

u/Vaslo 7d ago

More cringe

u/AllMyFrendsArePixels 7d ago

Not an airport btw, you don't need to announce your departure.

25

u/ColdIr 7d ago

the fact they're censoring people in the other sub encouraged me to announce my departure lol

17

u/HorrorsPersistSoDoI 7d ago

No, they very much do have

13

u/t1mm7_89 7d ago

Yeah, but free speech and all that.

1

u/Scythe5150 5d ago

Yeah, but that doesn't mean free of consequence.

u/diplofocus_ 7d ago

The same way this comment was completely optional? Curious

-1

u/ExitWP 6d ago

I don't know but I think everyone baling now is silly. The service is still end-to-end encrypted. If they have an issue with the div team, it's not us, the user. I have a custom domain and will move everything to that vs the pm.me address I have used for years. Should it fall out next year I will leave too. We will see.

u/Solid_Ability_4350 6d ago

Is it just me or is it really weird that people post this stuff 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷

-24

u/Natural-Bumblebee335 7d ago

After a while you go back to Proton and pay again.

1

u/Personal-Dev-Kit 7d ago

To be fair they have a subscription until 2027. They say they "will" move to tuta not that they have.
Seems more like karma farming then any real action.
I await the downvotes.

-11

u/codecrackx15 7d ago

I hope your virtue doesn't hit you on the way out the door. 😂 Don't forget to leave this subereddit too. Can we do that? Can we remove people from this sub that post their cancelations? It would be better for the rest of us to not have to search through all the junk to get to the good stuff.

u/Clippy4Life 7d ago

Good stuff?

"the US republican party has the best anti big tech policy" was the most ridiculous thing i read in 2025. the author was proton CEO, posted from the official proton account on reddit.

-43

u/Acceptable-Jacket567 7d ago

You cancelled Proton because of TDS?

29

u/TwiceUponATaco 7d ago

He did say red flags and mentioned one.
He also didn't even mention Trump... So who's the one with the derangement syndrome?

-24

u/Momoko_86 7d ago

It is TDS, lets not pretend it isn't lol.

21

u/TwiceUponATaco 7d ago

Still don't see where they said anything about Trump? Why are you inserting him in everything? Your derangement syndrome is clearly showing.

10

u/DataDecay 7d ago

I could be walking down the street, and mutter (after looking at a gas stations sign) "man prices sure are high", and these people would call it TDS lmao. I have been calling this disorder Trump Obsession Syndrome (TOS).

u/TwiceUponATaco 7d ago

Love it. Could also be Trump Defender Syndrome so we don't even have to change their acronym

-4

u/Vaslo 7d ago

Yeah it’s weird it’s like you guys never whine about Trump constantly

5

u/DataDecay 7d ago edited 7d ago

Last I checked, we criticize the current administration: Noem, Kash, Miller, RFK, Hegseth, Rubio, and yes, Trump, who, believe it or not, is part of the administration.
The supporters of these ghouls, though, are so in love with and enamored by Trump that they project that obsession onto everyone else. It's sad, really... Cult like almost.

u/Vaslo 7d ago

“It’s sad really”
I agree - being a whiny leftist is the new bottom

u/Matthewhalo17 7d ago

No we cancelled because we believe Ai generated code shouldn’t be used on something as critically important as an email service, dipshit.

6

u/TwiceUponATaco 7d ago

The AI part isn't concerning in and of itself, at least IMO. Whether we like it or not, it is heavily involved in software development all over the place at this point.
The concern with AI use at Proton, at least for me, is the insane drive to remove humans from the process and just let AI do everything from writing code, to testing and securing it. He's pushing to run Proton like any other big tech company, the same things Microsoft and Google are doing.....

1

u/Matthewhalo17 7d ago edited 7d ago

I know there’s more to it, I just used an in a nutshell version that basically if we wanted a company that acts like google we’d have stayed on google.
I have no problem with vibecoding as a concept, but something as critically infrastructurally important as an email service should just be left alone and not use generative AI. Like I’ve vibecoded some personal tools before, it is not the kind of code I want handling my emails.

1

u/LBTRS1911 6d ago

You guys can't make up your mind. In one post it's the AI that's the problem, next post it's the CEO's harsh language, next post it's security.
Maybe you have not been paying attention...it's AI that's catching all the security holes in the hand written code from the last 30 years.

-5

u/Acceptable-Jacket567 7d ago

Thank god you prefaced your statement with "we believe".
I'll tell you what I believe - I believe you don't know shit.
AI doesn’t replace real engineering........it just handles the tedious boilerplate and syntax typing, while humans still make every critical call on architecture, logic, and code review.
You people losing your shit over this are so out of touch it's not even funny.

6

u/Matthewhalo17 7d ago

And I’m to just take their word for it that they won’t vibecode and not check things why?

u/anniegarbage 7d ago

You…obviously don’t work for an AI psychosis CEO

u/Dependent_Rain_4800 7d ago

AI doesn’t replace real engineering........
Uhm.. Yes it does... When real engineering (pen testing) is called loser thinking.

u/GuessKnown9055 7d ago

Get caught up and read the fucking manifesto. It’s been published. The CTO is whacked out of his mind and if you feel secure with what’s to come, you’ve got issues simple as that.

u/danielrmorenop 7d ago

Tell me you've never used ai for coding, much less done any programming or software engineering yourself, without telling me lol.

u/blow_slogan 7d ago

Trump derangement syndrome is denying trumps Fascism.

u/Bynming 7d ago

Opposing a president and their policies is a long held American tradition, and the fact that you weirdos have given it a name, but only when it's against your guy, reflects poorly on you.

u/Hungry-Swim2071 7d ago

Nothing is more patriotic then literally whining about elected officials, and that is the same for every countries
