Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.

Moving away from gmail is one thing, but Proton's CEO is a massive cunt that I wouldn't personally trust anymore. I have an ongoing subscription for some of their services (including email, but I don't really use it), and I'm going to move on from there after the subscription expires.

not to mention Proton's PR team has mod positions in the subreddit and lemmy community and like to do some pretty aggressive censoring of anything that refers to the CEO's support of Trump in hopes of gaslighting everyone to forget about it.

I got banned from the lemmy community recently and my posts removed as 'misinformation' for talking about it... like man the entire internet saw him say this shit.
