Proton has just left Mastodon, probably because too many people called them out on the CEO's views.
What views?

thanks!
Weird how the reaction is almost always "NUH UH BETTER DOUBLE DOWN REALLY HARD" and almost never "wow a lot of people think this way, maybe I should find out why"
Been a long time since I stopped finding that funny.
Not everyone succumbs to peer-pressure like you do.
Good on them. People like you need to understand that brow beating is not the way to get what you want and doesn't make you right.
Brb, I must warn my ancestors of 1789 that they should have overthrown the monarchy by discussing politely rather than by cutting off the king's head and fighting his henchmen
This is what you got out of this? It's not about peer pressure, it's about not being a shitter for your community.
If they're not happy, they can always go somewhere else.
You can't please everyone.
Fully agree, but also after an event the extent that CEO did, that's going to be held over their head for years to come. The easiest way to get it out of the air is stopping the constant engagement that's encouraging it. Mastodon was a pretty large source of that.
Yeah! They were so close to start fixing things!
