Proton left Mastodon...
Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton's trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean, it makes sense for a company to focus on a platform with a large user base. Social media managers aren't free.
I disagree, Proton is a privacy company with more followers on Mastodon than on Threads and TikTok. Should they also drop what Linux support they have to focus only on Windows because it has a large base? This feels alienating to their privacy conscious users if anything.
Yeah, this is what's kinda worrying me about this move. Proton's got a pretty good name with folks who are security conscious. This move feels more like they are kinda trying to pivot, to cash in litterally years of good reputation for something else. That'd suck at the best of times, but in the second Trump era? Really just ain't any good answers to what they might be cashing that in for.
It doesn't make sense when that company is founded on concepts of privacy and they axe the (relatively) private platform instead of the exploitative one full of Nazis and anti-consumerism.
I'm not sure being full of Nazis would be an issue for proton
Setting up some basic bridge functionality is probably not that difficult either, so they could just mirror their xitter posts.
Playing devil's advocate, someone has to moderate replies on the mirrors though.
You can moderate replies?
shrug
