@catsalad @jackryder @cR0w I feel compelled to provide the counterpoint, which I think is important here. Yen is a dingus but might not represent Proton as a whole.
@mttaggart @catsalad @jackryder That's fair but I was specifically talking about their Mastodon account, not necessarily the product or even the org here.

@mttaggart @jackryder @cR0w Thanks for that. Proton's quick exit from the Fediverse entirely back when those accusations were going around sure felt like an admission to guilt.

@catsalad @jackryder @cR0w Respectfully, that feels a bit like wishful thinking. If they are those people, they probably didn't feel guilty about it in the slightest. And regardless if they were or weren't all aligned with Yen's boneheaded comments, they probably figured that the amount of abuse they were taking was not worth the benefit of being here.

@catsalad Was it one of the password managers? I feel like it was but I can't remember for sure.

This is the equivalent of saying that Benito Mussolini got the trains running on time, not that he did.
It's doesn't excuse all the other literal fascist shit he got up to

@mttaggart @catsalad @cR0w If they were being harassed that shouldn't have happened.
I'm not exactly a fan of all pizza's but that doesn't mean I should harass the folks over on social.linux.pizza. Vivaldi and others have a presence here and that is a good thing. We need all kinds here if we are going to properly exist.
The article that Taggart linked seems to have settled a lot of the accusations it seems that were presented. Maybe?
I use Proton...Google went insane and I needed an online provider. I'm kind of hopeful I don't need to move on from them.
Can we go back to pen&paper please? Just like...
I think @cR0w said it yesterday. I'm just tired...

Oh, for the love of fuck! Can't tech bros just keep their dicks out of their mouth?
Thank you. I did not know that.

- Did #proton or Andy Yen donate to MAGA or GOP?
- Did Andy Yen show up in Epstein files?

@catsalad It is hard to keep track of which browser we should be using and I had not heard that Brave was on the no fly list.
What is the current in vogue browser I can use on a chromebook (either as an android app or in Linux)? Vivaldi as an app had problems playing videos.
@human3500 @catsalad other than being a shit browser, Brave has the former CEO of Mozilla and creator of JavaScript at the helm.
He was already controversial, but the shitstain donated $1000 to Prop 8, the 2008 California bill to ban gay marriage. Then went on to be a remorseless crypto bro after being removed after only 2 weeks.
Today heβs a shill for crypto, and the browser is under a lot of suspicion of building their own closed loop surveillance under the guise of privacy.

@jackryder @mttaggart @catsalad I don't remember them being harassed. I remember the CEO backing Trump, people here going "WTF?!" and then the doubled-down before leaving. There wasn't an explanation at the time. They handled it poorly enough that it made me concerned about how thin-skinned they are as an org and whether anyone can actually trust them against any kind of leverage.
