This makes me internationally angry

It’s more like a problem avoiding the existing solution

Ditch Mozilla for what?

Honestly, at this point, they deserve every single bad thing that happens to them.

Unfortunately those bad things will also trickle down for the rest of the world and I’m so tired of that

Living in the EU and Latin America, I can safely say this has never been an issue before with the exception of Proton Mail which took me 8 confirmations and 5 retries

So they got the expiring matches from Bumble, the personality test from Boo, and require you to select from a list of reasons why you unmatch someone like in every dating app out there. Am I missing something on how different this is from the other apps?

Sure but you have to remember people are not tech savvy at all. They’re used to email, but they do not see the correlation with the fediverse. Try explaining that to the average Joe and see where that leads you.

The problem is having instances. If you tell the average Joe to join Mastodon and they see there’s 10 different links for Mastodon they’ll just give up and move on, it’s too much complicated effort for them.

Instead of focusing efforts into maintaining and improving their current products, of which many lack basic features, Proton decides to (in less than a month it seems) expand their portfolio into crypto bro and AI grifter territory.

I was already quite annoyed and unhappy with Proton’s services lacking things and the steep price (13€ a month and I can’t even use unlimited addresses for my custom domain), but this is the last straw. Fortunately I was already planning to move out so I’m able to just set everything up tomorrow and be done with it. I’m planning to get Migadu’s micro plan, move back to Bitwarden and get that Hetzner 1TB StorageShare, the three combined will be cheaper than 13€ a month and I’ll be getting more bang for my buck

I checked it out as I was curious. First post was “I sleep with my sister, AMA” and then an AI porn thread with guides and very dangerous lolicon porn.
