Cozy.io as a replacement for Proton Drive?

Joan Westenberg mentioned this in her “Trump-proof tech stack” post; anyone have any experience with this? It says it’s open source, self-hostable, and based in France.

Unfortunate Andy Yen comments aside, a big plus is that cozy actually has a Linux desktop client (!), unlike Proton.

I’ve seen like 30 of these threads today, which seem to just being shotgun around the internet feeding into people’s fear of an authoritarian government…but calling it Trump proof? The disconnect from reality here is just as hard as Trump’s relationship with reality.

Privacy is important, but don’t hock your merch by feeding into people’s fear. It looks fucking disgusting my guy.

I’m not hocking anything—notice the question mark at the end of the title. I don’t have any association with Cozy; I know nothing about them. Also, I’m referencing someone’s blog post, not endorsing it or necessarily agreeing with it. Like I said, Andy Yen’s comments aside, Proton Drive doesn’t have a desktop client for Linux which is why I’m looking for a replacement anyway. I’m keeping my other Proton stuff, for now at least. Maybe read a little more closely next time?

All the other threads must have been deleted. I browse subscribed communities by new and saw upwards of 4-5 new threads (in a row) on this software within the same 10 minute span–and now I can’t find any of them.
