When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb

Removed as it is wrong. You can see the statement here:

But damn, where to go from here? Self hosting my own email server and password manager is a little out of my wheel house.

Wow, lots of people on Lemmy just look at screenshots of text and dont read anything anymore.
I dont think he said anything controversial. Read what he wrote.
He’s not supporting Trump or the Republican party in general. He is calling them out for selecting someone good on antitrust. That’s not controversial.
Read what he wrote. He said Dems used to be for the little guy and the Republicans were for big business but now the tables have turned…
So now the Republicans, party of billionaires, is for the little guy and Dems are for big business?
Controversial no doubt.
How is that controversial? Harris lost because she was so fucking pro-corporate. Same thing happened to Hilary.
They’re both pro-corporate parties, and breaking up the trusts is progress.
Enshittification in high gear mode. The other day they’ve been exposed for backpedalling on their promises to spare inactive accounts that were created before 2024 until next year from the inactive accounts deletion policy.

Honestly, where’s the issue with that? Why should they continue to host some 10 year old account, when they only lose money by doing so. Proton is not Google, they don’t earn any money from users on the free plan, because they don’t scan your emails and sell your data. If you want to be in control, use your own domain (which Proton as well as other services like Tuta support btw) and store your emails offline (e.g. in Thunderbird).
A lot of people have asked in the support forums to tone down or moderate their policy to only clearing the contents of inactive email accounts instead of accounts themselves, because access to email accounts are seen more like an utility these days with so many online services using emails for multi-factor authentication and verification.
There are a lot of factors which will cause people to be involuntarily absent from their accounts, such as medical incapacity, prison (whether rightfully or not, since there are many wrongful conviction cases worldwide), internet blackouts, and within the context of East Asia, being trapped in scam compounds for an extended time.
I support only the deletion of inactive accounts if they were abandoned immediately after creation and whose main motive is to squat usernames.
That’s not what that word means
Semantic drifts can occur over time whether we like it or not; that word has now been used to refer to platform decay in a colloquial sense. To insist that a word must be tied to a particular definition or meaning when such a drift has de facto occured in a broader and significant degree is the textbook definition of etymological fallacy.
