    Btw, their Mastodon account has more followers than their Bluesky and Threads accounts combined, both of which they are keeping. What a stupid decision.

      It’s not stupidity; it’s censorship. They can control what gets posted on their own Reddit community. They can’t control what people are actually saying on the fediverse.

      People need to realize that Proton has gone to the shitter; stop paying for them and migrate away as soon as possible.

        And reddit has been extra aggressive in allowing mods ban users more easier too, as of this month. Now some mods are “cahoots with admins”

        Hmm good point. Honestly didn’t think about that. In that case I’m surprised they’re keeping the Bluesky account up, the replies are 90% negative there.

          Checked both out of curiosity and seems like they are active on twitter but stopped posting weeks ago on bluesky after their feelings got hurt there from ceo backlash.

      They will leave Blue sky for twitter once , people find out as well, mark my words, and they will add Facebook eventually, since it’s still the place where right wingers flee to have more administrative control over their groups, of they get ousted from reddit
