Its true. I have friends still using it and they can't seem to break free. I used Reddit since its inception, but left it immediately during the api-pocolypse and never looked back. I did the same with Proton when the CEO praised the GOP. I have no loyalties to tech companies.
I will die on this hill - the Proton CEO was right when he praised GOP in the context of the time, and situation.
The situation was: GOP accidentally* going against Big Tech and pro-citizens, while Democrats were defending Big Tech (just to be in opposition-by-default to GOP). Specifically, the CEO's tweet was about how Trump nominating a fairly loudly outspoken anti-Big Tech person to a very high position in the DOJ was a good thing.
The time was: just before Trump 2 took office and showed what a shit-show his admin, and GOP have become.
The guy was ONLY talking about Big Tech and anti-trust policies nothing else. He never said "GOP is good for the US" or "GOP is good for the world", he said "GOP are doing a bunch of anti-trust and anti-Big Tech moves right now and it's good".
People dropping Proton for this reason are the epitome of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
* it was because Trump was throwing a hissy fit at Meta and Twitter for allowing people to express anti-Trump opinions.
The problem with this, is if he was paying attention AT ALL, it'd be clear that the republican stance "against big tech" was always a lie. The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.
Nobody ever suggested otherwise. I specifically mentioned that myself.
He didn't "buy" anything. He didn't become a Republican, WTF are you people talking about? He literally said, that at the time GOP was more anti-Big Tech and pro-consumer than the Democrats and that a specific appointment was a good choice.
Since when does stating facts mean you're "buying someone's BS"?
I've been trying to break free from Reddit ever since the api-pocalypse and subsequent ai-pocalypse. I mostly found my home on Tumblr for a while but it's taken a long time to find replacements for some things.
That's why i left too though I only did it recently bc the app i used only stopped working like a month or two ago.
