And how are they supposed to sell consumer information that’s end-to-end-encrypted?

Proton has been offering free services for 10 years now. And they don’t profit from your data, so your assertion is false.
Proton has offered free plans for all its products for the last 10 years.
If it wasn’t sustainable, I think we’d have noticed by now.
This is not the case with Proton. Paid subscriptions effectively subsidize free users.
What are you concerned about? A new, more expensive plan appearing out of nowhere?
Occam’s Razor applies here.
Congrats on the release!
How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.
☝️ This user has never donated to libre software.
Thank you for mirroring Proton’s announcements here on Lemmy!
It’s already illegal if your content is large enough to be copyrightable.
The issue is that the majority of people on the Fediverse are “techies” with specific interests, which skews the spectrum of content quite a bit.
The Fediverse is in an awkward spot. It needs more people like you to keep technology communities from becoming Linux circlejerks, but at the same time those circlejerks are driving people like you out.
Do you think comments like these are swaying public opinion in your favor?
People will never use downvotes the intended way. They haven’t done so on Reddit either.
I see no productive use for downvotes, so I’ve disabled them.
Please just use the original title. Semantic CSS is an actual thing and it takes 2 seconds to google what it is.
But what if some of my comments include information that can uniquely identify me?
That can be something like “message me on Matrix at …”
I didn’t see your initial proposal. However I sympathise with this post and I really understand the frustration you’re feeling with the lack of donations, having seen it time and time again in the open-source space.
I was going to pledge that I’d donate once I had the cash available, but seeing how you respond to people in the comments is leading me to reconsider. You may not be demanding donations, but to me it does look like you’re attempting to shame people into donating with a challenging tone. Quoting one of your responses:
Anyway, now you know it as well. If you think that this is a worthy effort, what are you going to do about it besides commenting here?
I still want to support you if you’re going to pursue this, since I myself have a strong interest in Lemmy being GDPR-compliant, but I ask you that you please reconsider how you approach the people that can potentially be supporters of your efforts.
Can you show where the GDPR excludes public information? Because if it doesn’t and can uniquely identify a person, then it’s still subject to this regulation.
IANAL, but fediverse instances need to find a way to automatically set up data processing agreements when initializing federation to be GDPR-compliant: https://gdpr.eu/what-is-data-processing-agreement/
I’m confused. I opened the first 6 issues featured in your lemmy-ui link and you closed them all yourself?
Quoting the very article you linked yourself:
EML messages can then be imported into email clients such as Thunderbird or Outlook.
Even if Proton VPN collects logs (which hasn’t been proven once in its 7 years of operation), it becomes a matter of who you’d rather trust with your browsing habits: Your ISP or Proton.
