Is there a link you could share?

https://account.proton.me/mail/signup

I don't see any anonymous payment methods on this page.

Tuta has a 3rd party provider that you can send cash or Monero to and get a gift card to pay for your account.

Mullvad will directly take cash and Monero.

I don't see anything suggesting that Proton does anything similar

Idk you asked. I used a search engine. You can too.

I had looked to possible anonymous payment methods for Proton and found nothing before.

I asked because you were making a claim against what I had found. Not my fault you made a false claim without proof

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We're not in a court of law, and i didn't make any claims. Get over yourself.

I could say the same to you. You're the one who sent a link without checking if it was relevant to the conversation.

Most people would accept that they made a faux pas and quietly leave the thread. Instead, you decided to get defensive and snarky about it. Grow up.
