Proton: “We’re consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit for the latest updates”
This is unexpected, as they had around 50k subscribers on Mastodon, and mirroring posts is super easy.
1000% this. It’s easy to mirror, so the idea that “it’s too hard, boo hoo” is cover for something else. Given the recent diatribes by the head, this just seems like more indication that Proton is going to play ball with authoritarians (or at least ultracapitalists, who are bosom buddies with the authoritarians).
