    Imo it’s more like leaving the town full of bullies… completely understandable, I would do the same. Insane amount of hate, for one mistake. People can only see black and white these days…

      “One mistake” would be if he didn’t double-down on it, and if Proton addressed their customers’ concerns in any meaningful way. Instead, they deleted posts and are now withdrawing from the community entirely, and directing users to three of the worst corporate hell-holes on the internet.

      With US aligning with Russia and North Korea and their party taking Kremlin talking points of refusing to say Russia is the aggressor it shows a huge lack of foresight that you’d expect from a CEO. Not like the party hasn’t been accused of being pro Russian years prior or stuff like Project 2025 plans to kill democracy.

      This is some amateur stuff.

      You must be new to the internet. People make a drama out of every little shit.

        Little shit like praising literal hitler for some other things he did, besides the genocide.

          Lol, here comes the drama. And I say that as a person on the opposite spectrum of Trump.

              Just FYI, I’m not a Proton supporter (I find the way overrated), nor an American citizen, nor a MAGA supporter (quite the opposite, actually). I just use common sense. If you’re so stupid to believe otherwise it’s exclusively your problem. Keep crying and jumping from service to service for every little shit. Have fun.

        :D apparently yes. it’s still sad to see. There wasn’t a single post done by proton that didn’t immediately derail into people blaming about “the issue”, and they just couldn’t stop. Not a fun time, and there isn’t anything the company can do to convince these people otherwise, they are just a lost in hate

      Agreed. I don’t support their decision to leave mastadon but I totally understand why they did it. Proton is on our side (as much as a company can be) so I don’t get why people keep ripping into them for something that isn’t true. He wasn’t saying he supported Trump, he just hoped the republican party would do something about big tech. Not gonna happen but we can all agree we hope it’ll happen
