I know the CEO dug himself a pretty deep hole recently.

I had been meaning to switch all the services I currently use over to proton - but his remarks gave me pause.

Is it still worth considering?

    For me personally this is the selling point, as I can fund their (open source) work rather than sending money to some company that does not contribute to open source. And since everything they offer is based on FOSS, migrating to another provider is easier than for closed source competition.

    That said, I get your point. It is a corporation, and it is putting several eggs on one basket.

      I’m wary of Signal for the same reason that — although both products are at least nominally open source — for all intents and purposes, their strategy is corporate. And this centralisation makes Murena as well as Signal single points of potential failure.

      You do you, just consider that the minute somebody from the Murena/e Foundation board has a public meltdown you may have to find a new home for all the cloud things 🤷
