It would have been helpful to explain why, whether that's privacy, ethical, or political concerns.
But maybe the use of "🤣" says it all
Ceo of Proton is a huge Republican fan, that might deter some people. Are you not interested in this?

I would be in the loop, but not necessarily OP. I am calling out OC to defend their suggestion with more than a simple accusation.
As a looped in person. Do you think I should stick to Proton for less hassle (migration) or is moving to Tuta for example the right move currently?
My take is that Proton CEO Andy Yen's pro-Trump comments were born out of naïvety, not the same mindset that plagues tech CEOs in the US. Combining that with Proton's benign actions since then, I think it's a good time to diversify, become familiar with alternatives like Tuta as you say, and make a backup plan should they enshittify, but don't rush to jump ship now.
