      You react to small disagreements with insults, accusations of the user being a fed and threats of censorship (banning him because you disagree with him). I have no idea if you’re an admin on lemmy and actually have the power to do this, but this is fairly downvoteable in my view.

      Exactly! I am not saying that Proton is some kind of virus but lots of folks are screaming “Proton! Proton!” (and “You have to think for yourself!” - Life of Brian) as if it is the only answer for privacy and security.

      Riseup exists since about 1999 and is like Disroot non profit with focus on activism. Proton is like some other companies, I think, a response to the Snowden revelations, which is iirc 2013, a time after which self-hosting email (e.g. Mail in a box) became topical for a while and several other new email companies started to pop up.
