Nowhere does this address the poor handling of the situation from proton, with their lacklustre response on Reddit after pulling out from Mastodon due to people being rightfully upset.

This falls under the same bullshit that Framework has with its โ€œbig tentโ€ fiasco.

Giving Nazis the boot shouldnโ€™t be controversial.

Once again itโ€™s a reminder to not put your eggs in one basket.
