Same, considering switching after this for sure.
- cyberpunk 1mo agoWhat would you switch to? I'm pretty deeply tied into protondrive, so switching is gonna be .. not a lot of fun.
- jerbearito 1mo agoI'm looking at Fastmail for email. For other stuff, not sure yet. I've seen folks recommend Nextcloud. I'm similarly dreading moving my files/backups.
- franklymail 1mo ago[flagged]
- alexjplant 1mo agoI switched to Tuta this morning. I used to be a huge Proton advocate but multiple hour-plus downtimes in a week for e-mail is unacceptable. At this point I had better uptime running my own mail server on a VPS (or at least when the UI went down it was a simple `systemctl restart` away to fix it) and this was in the dark ages of having to manually rotate X.509 certs.
- general1465 1mo agoTuta without SMTP/POP3/IMAP is just a joke. At least Protonmail offers bridge to work with.
- alexjplant 1mo agoWhat? You have to run Bridge on your desktop to get the functionality anyhow... if they offered it natively then it might be worth something but you have to run a binary to get it. Meanwhile Proton's mobile app has gotten buggier and buggier over the years as it refuses to load messages, loads old messages in a thread when you click on the most recent notification, forgets to remove drafts after sending, fails to sync the calendar, etc. Lumo, which could have been a great offering, similarly breaks after every fifth message or so and is substantially behind SOTA offerings. IMHO Proton has jumped the shark and this is just the final straw.
- OhMeadhbh 1mo agoMe too. Looks like it came back up after about 4(?) hours. I noticed there was a "special offer" to extend my subscription for about half the price. I think what I want is to pay more for something that looks vaguely like an SLA. Or maybe even a description of how they have two data centers and their fail-over process is tested frequently.
