Please tell us that you’re not moving away from Lemmy/Mbin too. There’s a gigantic tonedeafness to asking your supporters to use centralized social media at this specific time that’s hard to accept you’re not realizing.
(quote from Proton’s mastodon.social account info - there wasn’t even a post made about it)
Don’t they realize that more privacy conscious people, which are their customer base, are more probable to be on the fediverse than Reddit? Especially in the current social media and political context.
So it came as a surprise last month when Proton CEO Andy Yen praised the Republican Party in a post on X, declaring that “10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.” When the tweet went viral, Proton’s official Reddit account posted a now-deleted comment stating that “Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”
No. No they don’t realize that.
And as for Proton, they can get fsckd. For the people that work there, I’m sorry and I hope you can split off and work on a real privacy company that doesn’t slurp fascist knob.
I didn’t think they were ever here?
is either an official account or impersonating an official account.
Seems like it might be official and just joined to tell us they’re totally not worshipping authoritarians
Yeah I agree. Can’t look more official than that.
I really don’t understand what’s so hard about this. Most companies post the most basic stuff that it would be trivial to script repeaters for.
