Yeah I totally agree, I hate that they keep adding new stuff instead of focussing on their core business. It’s especially annoying as the Android Protonmail app and the regular web mail client are really bare bones and have several long standing issues. Honestly if I had set it up with my own domain instead of the @pm.me (which admittedly is a nice suffix) I probably wouldn’t be a paying customer anymore.
Exactly, it’s why I don’t buy Logitech anymore!
If it’s important that it keeps running then it should just be redundant and taking one node down for an update shouldn’t be an issue. I know this is wishful thinking for a lot of services but I refuse to be on call for something if the client can’t be bothered to make it redundant.
Well you could, it’s just the usual pros and cons. How will you get momentum and community around the fork and how will you get a sufficient amount of instances to switch to a fork to have any impact. Not sure we’re at that point yet.
Edit; checked the PR you referenced and it’s just a stylistic issue apparently. While a bit pedantic imho, I think a fork reaction to this is overblown. It was merged later in another PR; https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2032
