    Isn’t the proton guy like a Russian Nazi or something?

      He is the Antichrist, singlehandedly causes global warming and I believe he might also have played a role in the spread of the plague in Europe in the 1300.

      Like seriously, accusations of this caliber should be supported by solid evidence. If you can’t bother even reading the context of what all the noise was about, don’t go around commenting on the topic?

          saying that republicans do one thing right is not synonymous to being a pro Trump clown which in turn is not synonymous to being a russian nazi

            It is even more ironic considered that Proton donated 20% of their revenue for new users to Ukraine back in 2022. “Russian Nazi” lol

              sadly this is what happens when people parrot every sentiment they see online, everyone should try to become more literate

                I see this happen quite a lot in the Fediverse. It’s generally a progressive place, aims to be a safe space, but ultimately I see that there is a tendency to pressure people in matching an aesthetic, rather than actually think and discuss things rationally. So now Proton has been labeled by someone and many people don’t want to go against this flow, because that is going against the aesthetic of fighting Trump/nazis/whatever, which makes you in turn a pro-Trump/MAGA/nazi, whatever. Nevermind that there is plenty of space to debate that attribution on the first place.

          Comparing Andy Yen to big tech CEOs like the article does is really nonsensical though. 1 made a really stupid statement about Republicans (I don’t think that makes him a pro-Trump clown, let alone a Russian Nazi), the others literally backed him with million dollar donations, changed policies and stood on the podium with Trump.
