      Here is the tweet

      I know exactly what you’re referring to.

      if that’s not the most flagrant Trump bootlicking, I don’t know what is

      I agree, you don’t know what is. Agreeing with a single decision someone makes is not an endorsement. But that’s exactly the kind of irrational dichotomic reaction I expect from society these days.

      And here is the backpedal

      I don’t see anything here that could be construed as backpedaling. If he were smart he would have, but if anything, he doubled down several times.

      I believe what I read.

      You didn’t read that, you made it up.

      I wouldn’t call that boot licking. Maybe a misguided opinion.

      I think he internet mob went a little hard on this one.

        A perfectly guided opinion. You do get why the CEO likes Trump and left the fediverse while staying on Twitter, right?

          Looking at the board of directors for the proton foundation, I’d say people are jumping to conclusions way too fast about proton.

          I don’t like that they’re ditching Mastodon to focus on reddit. But, it makes sense in a marketing perspective. Reddit has a LOT more users, and potential customers. If they indeed don’t have the resources to manage both then Reddit is the best option if they want to attract more people as customers. On Mastodon they’re pretty much preaching to the choir.
