MODERATORS
 

The contempt Proton is showing for their users is astounding. They not only think people will fall for this transparent act of damage control, but they also have the gall to shift blame onto the users.

Go read the comments. Obvious bots are posting praise and many critical comments are being deleted by the moderators.

Charitably, it means the incorrect perceptions cause damage regardless of the truth. Do you dispute that position?

See how much harder it is to dismiss a position when we don't shortchange it?

I myself don't care what happens to Proton as a privately held company, and I don't buy their services. I just don't like cheap shots. The level of discourse at the fediverse doesn't need to devolve into another reddit.

Reddit is actively deleting dissent. How the FUCK is this anywhere near Reddit levels?

You got it right. I saw the thread and the entire thing was a gigantic manipulation. But still, even in the context of that manipulation, it meant get out there and talk because others have perceptions that are out of alignment with our reality.
