Proton: “We’re consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit for the latest updates: Reddit - Dive into anything”. This is unexpected, as they had around 50k subscribers on Mastodon, and mirroring posts is super easy. I find that concerning that they stopped posting on open and decentralized platform, but keep posting on Meta and X.

    Was it ever? I ditched them years ago when they tried to gaslight people that e2ee in javascript in browser is secure.

      Security is hardly a binary property.

      Given you mention the specific technical setup, I would say yes - that is secure against most risks relevant for most people.

      At least, it’s totally fine according to my own threat model, where I looked specifically at broswer-based encryption vs “manual” encryption (I.e. using PGP tools locally).

        It is nuanced, but having the ability to selectively serve malicious javascript stealing keys to specific people only on one access is considerable issue in practice, compared to distributing binary where you would generally have the same binary for everyone and you are able to archive and analyse it. Especially if you use third party distributions, like github releases or flatpaks.
