No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Judging by your last statement, I feel like you didn't really read my comment and just cherry-picked parts to comment on. I ultimately agreed with your points in some form, and you...challenge me anyway? You once again say putting everything in one basket is bad as a matter of fact, saying it has an objective downside, and don't even bother to say what that downside is or expand on why.
I'm sure you are not invested in this discussion, but you should at least act in good faith if you are going to engage anyway.
Edit: Also NOWHERE in my post did I say their services were good (not bad). I am now convinced you were acting in bad faith.
You have already mentioned it, it makes it more difficult to switch away to an alternative and it locks you down to Proton's services. One of the main reasons why it's so difficult to switch away from Google is due to their vast "ecosystem" of software services, though of course, this is an extreme example. Proton is a much smaller company, but my point remains that it is more difficult to go from Proton to another email service (like Disroot or mailbox) than it is to do the reverse.
I can think of another too. If one account is compromised, the whole "ecosystem" with email, drive, VPN, and maybe passwords/2FA (depending on how bad it is) could also be accessed or blocked. There's a higher chance for one company to be bought out by Big Tech, banned in your country, sanctioned by the U.S., etc., than many simultaneously.
It doesn't look like you have. You negated how Proton is licking the boots of Trump by saying "every CEO is pro-GOP". You emphasised how they were "not bad", all of my points were "personal decisions" of some sort.
No, you said they were not bad. Distinctly different from good. You said my points does not make Proton "objectively bad", that they were all "personal choices". I said that a lack of a Linux client for Proton Drive is bad. The lack of proper IMAP support (that is, without the use of Proton Bridge, since it only works on desktop) in Proton Mail is bad. Tying everything to one account is bad.
