MODERATORS
I'll take a guess that they are going back to Reddit so they can control what gets posted and shown to others. They got railed on Mastodon following the drama, which is probably why they're leaving.
It depends how they are doing it.
People learned years ago that there is a big difference between microblogs (twitter), blogs (facebook and tumblr), and message boards (reddit). And there are major differences even within those. The post you make for tumblr and the post you make for facebook are targeting very different audiences. Which IS time consuming for a good community manager and is shitty 100 character blog posts for someone's nephew.
From checking out their bluesky, it looks like proton is pulling out of all the microblogs in favor of just reddit (https://bsky.app/profile/proton.me). Which sucks but is "fine". And it is likely more that positive engagement on Mastodon was just too low to even be worth multi-posting once every two weeks. Which.. is something a lot of not shitty companies have decided to be the case.
That said: I didn't check twitter because fuck that shit. If they are still super active there then, yeah, ridiculously "sus".

From the statement on their webpage: " We believe in people before profits, and our primary shareholder is the non-profit Proton Foundation whose mission is to fight for an open internet that promotes freedom of speech and freedom of information."
I've committed a bunch of relatives and myself to a year of the Family plan, and now most of us want to leave.. What a mess.

Switched to Mullvad for VPN, Baikal for calendar and contacts, Tuta for professional mail, and considering Bitwarden or Buttercup for a password manager
I use Bitwarden coming from LastPass. It's great for me and my fam.

Honestly they should be using https://publer.com/ or something similar. Makes publishing and maintenance of social media very easy. If you have a large org it makes sense to publish to multiple platforms.
There's not much point in "post and ghosting" to platform if you're not going to engage with its' users. You might as well just direct people to your blog instead.

Sad, but I'm largely indifferent to this.
@mailbox_org@mailbox_org@mastodon.social are running their own mastodon server and it's an excellent mail service provider. @Tutanota@mastodon.social are also present on Mastodon and is likewise an excellent mail service provider.
