More analysis from @wiredfire:

It’s nothing to do with [difficulties in using multiple platforms]. It’s to do with the massive backlash they got on Fedi for their CEO being all Trumpy and somewhat horrible right wing. So they’ve run away because they were made to feel unwelcome on account of us not letting their BS fly.

Oh do tell me more about how trump and musk aren't fascists!

The CEO agreed with one statement from Trump (which is often misquated as well) and doubled down on it and is generally an idiot.

But that doesn’t mean they support Trump (or Musk). I know the US politics has been changing and removing the ability to look for compromises, but in the rest of the democtatic world agreeing with one statement from a person or party doesn’t mean you agree with their entire political agenda.

Only use Proton with your own domain so you can switch, but there aren’t that many other good options and none of them offer the same protection the Swiss law does.

A "privacy-focused" company is choosing to stop using the open source social media site in favor of one run by a guy who gives Nazi salutes. There's no positive spin to it.

Nope there isn't, is the owner of Reddit also doing Nazi salute's? Cause I missed that one.
