I only know about it because I happened to see their announcement when they launched the instance. It sounds like it was a reddit movement before they came to Lemmy.

Just an FYI the 50501 group launched a Lemmy instance somewhat recently.

You fuckin druggah

Went from Google to Proton and have since moved on from Proton. If there’s one thing I wish I would’ve thought of before switching it would’ve been not using a single provider for everything.

At the end of the day it got me off Google, but with more or less the same situation I started with. Everything I was using was housed by one company. If they go under or turn evil you’re scrambling to replace all your online services at once all over again. That isn’t something I’m comfortable with so I split my service selection up and moved to multiple companies for the services I actually use.

Having everything in one place is super convenient until something happens that makes you want or need to move again. I’m happier now and ended up paying a bit less overall which is cool.

If only they’d programmed the AI to tell them this sooner.

Second the Ironfox recommendation.
