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.
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
If you read the whole thing again, he is supporting Trump and the Republicans.
Here is the CEO’s post along with a link to an article with the twitter link.
He is supporting Trump’s pick for a roll, fair enough. But the rest of the post, he is talking about how he hopes the republicans will do something about big tech. He isn’t endorsing Trump himself or his stance of policies. Far as I’ve seen he never has. He it literally just stating what the republicans used to be about.
No, he literally STARTED by stating what the republicans used to be about and then added a wildly inaccurate statement about what the republicans are about now.
And he didn’t even need to say anything at all which is the ridiculous thing lost in all this. It was amateur hour showing a huge lack of foresight you’d expect a CEO to have when it comes to things as simple as PR.
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.
: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
