You can and should be involved in what your retirement is invested in. If you’re concerned about this, you could move that money into something safer.

For the record, nowhere in this conversation did I say that I think people should move. You’re putting words in my mouth. I’ve only ever spoken about myself and my own plans.

That clarified, I do think people should not support a company with leadership like Proton’s.

You do not need a perfect or “better” (subjective) alternative to leave Proton. If you are not willing to accept an inconvenience for a moral stance, then it is no moral stance at all.

Just because I do not personally yet know what I will be switching to does not at all undermine my position. I do not think you are carrying on this conversation in good faith, so I’m going to end it here.

??? I already answered that 7 comments ago. You asked me for my opinions and I gave them, I’m so confused.

If you don’t take issue with the things raised in the article, then you do you. For me, they are enough for me to leave Proton. You came into this conversation asking me what alternatives I was interested in.

I suppose I’m just confused at the purpose of the sentiment, then. Not having a perfect alternative is not a good excuse to continue supporting Proton with its current leadership and direction.

I never claimed that there was.

Haven’t done enough research to say yet. Others have been suggesting in the thread. Might self host my passwords. Email seems the easiest switch with the most options. Cloud storage, not sure yet; I need a decent amount of it for crucial backups.

There really isn’t a good replacement I’ve aware of for tracking deals, either.

Proton products have been great for me, I use them all every day. Not renewing when my sub is up and I’ll quote Andy Yen as why.

Wow is this an actual quote? This guy is hella toxic.

Uh, it’s not as opposed to “targeting humans,” it’s as opposed to “targeting men”.

No need to speculate, there’s an article with valuable information on this very topic linked in the OP.

In a blog post, Discord laid out its plans to publish ‘Server Web Pages’ for every discoverable server on Discord by default. These are bespoke web pages that give a preview of a server’s contents before forcing users to hit the join button. There are already several of these pages live, typically for huge online games like Rust or Dead by Daylight. These pages will be discoverable on Google, and will display a summary of the discussions going on in the server.

But while these Server Web Pages will be going live next month, another update is coming in December that’ll allow answers to questions to appear in Google search. According to the blog post, “Answers to questions your members sent in public channels can be found in a web search, in their own words. Server admins decide which channels take part, and server members can choose whether their own messages appear. Usernames and avatars will not be shown alongside these messages.”

Oh shit, did that buy out not happen? I don’t know how I missed that, thanks for the info!

Discord is owned by Microsoft, a huge proponent of AI. So, yeah.

Edited to add, I was mistaken! Discord turned down Microsoft’s buyout.

I don’t disagree, but I think it’s a tough situation. Games have evolved so much and while there are many, many incredible indie games without all the bells and whistles of a modern cutting-edge games, I do think it’s still an important segment of the market and one that people are still buying.

To be honest, the price of most games is not any more prohibitively expensive than they always were, in fact in many cases they are much cheaper. It’s more than everything else in life in more expensive and wages aren’t keeping up.

edited to fix auto-correct typos.

This was probably one of the top three criticisms I heard against Discord, so this seems like a positive move to me.
