Isn’t the proton mail guy a fascist

[–] pot_belly_mole@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

The tweet that seemed to be bootlicking Trump was worrying and troubling in my opinion as well. However, reading this deeper analysis alleviated at least some of my fears https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e

Also the foundation model decisively limits the influence of the founder. There seems to be no other European email service that's quite on par with Proton. Therefore I still think they are the top alternative.

Fascism is when selling his own business to a foundation to ensure that it is more immune to capitalism?

Nah, I’d say no. He said shit but happens to everyone.

Here is the full board btw https://proton.me/foundation

He's a Trump fan

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 20 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah that’s what I mean yeah

The situation in the US makes pretty clear what fascism is and who Trump fans are

2 tweets in which he said that the republicans could help small tech are definitely not enough to be called either (fascist or Trump fan) imho

But it’s not a hill I’d die on. Still a foundation, still not easily sold to a random rich guy, still other members on the board and so on. Opinions are opinions but facts are here to stay and I can trust that organization still much more than others even if one person of the board went crazy. Organizations over single people ftw

Hard disagree. His tweets were slobbering. Not going to get into it here, it's just the case. Proton is dead. Fucker can have his MAGAt user base.

We can agree to disagree for the tweets but I’m not sure that I agree on the part about throwing a good organization built on solid principles because of one person tbh. Yes he is not a random employee but on the foundation board there are also people like Tim Berners Lee…

They can have our business back after they fire their CEO

hangs out at Nazi bar
gets drunk and makes weird slurred speeches about how much he loves Hitler
goes around telling everyone about how he’s decided to stop going to this other bar he was going to, and just go to the Nazi bar now

Is this man a Nazi?
