I know the situation. There’s more nuance to it than simply ‘Proton is fascist’. Posts like the OP do not contribute to people understanding the situation, it is simply promoting misinformation, outrage bait and drama.

The actual piece of information here is ‘Proton stops using Mastodon’. That information may be tangentially related to this discussion group, but isn’t exactly a noteworthy piece of information that inspires much discussion. Instead, OP is using it as a means of posting outrage bait. The pictured comment that implies that Proton left Mastodon because Mastodon wasn’t fascist enough.

This is simply bullshit misinformation meant to inspire outrage that’s duck taped to a news item so it can be posted here. This kind of crap isn’t about Privacy, it’s a way for people to sneak misinformation into the community by dressing it up as a piece of news.

e: Here’s an example of a privacy community where they simply posted about the event without any of the extra misinformation, notice how the discussion is less extreme and is focused on the actual thing that happened instead of reacting to the outrageous framing: https://lemmy.world/post/26094433
