Since the recent Proton events I need to change providers and I found RiseUP.

I would like to know how good is this service and if I should consider it.

Moreover as I know that it is no open to sign up how to get a RiseUP account? THX for all

    Firstly, the proton CEO took the position of supporting Trump by saying that “they are standing up for little people”. Saying that reps are good supporters of antitrust laws.

    Secondly, the official proton account replied to his post and agreed on the fact that reps are more likely to defeat big corps against monopoly. They deleted their post later. (The proton official post)

    So since then we cannot stand in a corp that is promoting these people. That’s why I asked about riseUP

      I’ve only recently started using proton but knowing that, I’m out. Thanks for the heads up.

        Keep in mind Andy Yen is only one of five board members of the Proton Foundation.

        Also, I don’t see his tweet as “pro-trump”, rather that he is completely ignorant of US politics and he is just spewing his uneducated opinions.

        But it is concerning…

          My issue was not that Andy Yen made the comment he did (as much as I disagree). My problem was the Proton account making an official statement doubling down on it.

          He did make a subsequent post trying to clarify and apologize, but at this point, the cat is out of the bag, IMO. I’m switching to Tuta for email, Mullvad for VPN, and self-hosting Nextcloud for storage.

        Sorry, I was using it since almost 6 months too but now I’m leaving.

        I will go with disroot as said in other comments of this post. RiseUP seems pretty hard to get into.
