I've decided to leave Proton after being a user since 2017. Today, I migrated all my services to my new domain, marking the end of my time with Proton. The recent political noise and price point were no longer justifiable for me. It was a good experience while it lasted. Thanks for the fishes 🐟 🐠

Then it's not about that political crap. It's about it not being what you're looking for. And that's fine. But say that instead of the politics being the major reason you're leaving.

Edit :

And yes it has changed in 8 years.

It improved by providing more than a sinple VPN or a simple email service. But offering a whole suite of tools to compete with Google, which is a pretty fucking ambitious project.

They also changed to being owned by a non profit foundation with a clear mission to which they are legally tied to with a seriously competent team.

As mentioned, it is the noise AND the price. If the service works for you this is great. You do you πŸ‘.
