Proton On-Site Forums to Replace the Uservoice.Com Mess + Soc. Media
Not everyone uses social media. And uservoice.com is an ugly, over-complicated, clinical mess. It would be infinitely better to have a proper set of moderated forums on-site at Proton, inc. help forums where users and support staff could chip in. Social media could act as an adjunct to this, but the real focus should be in forums. Even the biggest Linux distros e.g. have their own forums, and Proton is still much smaller than they are. Also, this ought to be privacy focused, which uservoice and social media are not. This also could foster a proper Proton/privacy community, which would be a great place also to point people to who ask about privacy and/or Proton, which happens a lot to privacy and Proton advocates, of which I am an active one, even a Proton evangelist one could say.

I am appalled and, frankly, disgusted to have to discover that Proton is using a service that seems to use a bot *to censor* words it deems as not 'politically correct, i.e., UserVoice. I discovered this in one of my comments, where I used an expression that arguably may or may not be PC and certainly is not listed in the classic "Dictionary of Vulgar English" by the late Eric Partridge. Either way, I really could not give a flying ********** - fortunately, a lot of good people still refuse to bow to the tyranny of 'political correctness', as indeed do I. It is an infringement of the freedom of speech, and I think this should be absolutely anathema for an organisation like Proton that aims to defend the right to privacy and freedom. I shall have to consider whether to post and comment in Proton UserVoice henceforth. I will never bow to tyranny, whether it be 'political correctness' or Identity Politics. or anything else.
That aside, Uservoice seems to be only partially functional for a number of days now, with email notifications and voting non-functional.
[Edit] LOL! This really is laughable! Instant censorship of a medical term for breaking wind! Well, a "Four Russian Generals' Welcome" (Salman Rushdie - 'Grimus') to UserVoice and their censorship/violation of the freedom of speech! [/Edit]
