Email is something we simply cannot live without. They are primary sources of communication to reach you like account notifications, what accounts you've registered with it and vice versa.

GMail is not that easy. Because, there are places and services that use e-mail clients that are easy to be sent to and received by GMail. I've experienced this with ProtonMail for a while, where there'll be services and individuals that could not reach me through my Proton e-mail and I've had difficulty reaching out to them.
I'll continue to use ProtonMail myself. But, I can't in good conscience feel in reason to support this company with my money and I'm especially concerned with relying on ProtonVPN so that will be getting uninstalled.
This is just not how you win people over and I'm tired of this day and age in tech where companies like this, pad their PR up with promises then do a 180 on their attitude towards everyone who uses their products that makes everyone second guess them. It's bad enough we have things like Discord who has spent a couple years, making themselves look good and cozy for the public market that have alienated its userbase.
Bluesky showing their true colors and then we have this asshole CEO on Proton taking a dump whenever he pleases on the values of why we bothered using Proton in the first place.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
Why would he hold such an opinion? Man, CEOs continue proving how little they actually contribute to the best interests of the world.
Much harder to powertrip you say? Have you looked in the modlogs and see how moderators ban users in multiple instances that is unrelated to the original instance? It's very reddit like.
Mastodon dodged a bullet though. It could've been them.
Good, because that damn thing is in the way. It's just another block that is stacked on another block with another block. Just searching on Google is abysmally horrible in every way.
Can we fucking have nice things anymore? This is crystal clear, that CEOs of all kinds, ruin everything. Fuck you, Andy Yen.
Same reasons big retail companies do it. Release thousands of workers, absolve yourself from paying their insurances and salaries. Reap the rewards. Go back to hiring people, do it again for another quarter.
And before that, wading through 200 asset flipping games before finding something good.
Valve, have you learned nothing from Steam Greenlight and why that had to be taken down?
Yeah because they're clinging to what they thought was a world in its last sanest place to them before overzealous CEOs were preaching the choir of AI and how it'll solve everything. It's easy for them to say and do the shit they do because they have no worry, the worst that can happen is the AI bubble popping, if ever. Even if it does, they're still well off because of how much they pocketed by overpromising.
Everyone else got to watch what was once their dreams, be dashed at that cost.
