Your fallacy is believing that your culture is the only one in the world. '88' is a nazi dogwhistle in the west since a few decades back - but it means "double fortune" and is part of asian numerology for thousands of years.

Don't be stupid on the Internet.

He's asian.

Now you're just making stuff up. It's your choice to act like an idiot but people like you are why great organisations _don't_ want to keep a presence on Mastodon.

@slothrop well this is our cue to get this done ASAP

@Infoseepage

Your inability to understand other cultures only says something about you - not them.

No, you're making stuff up because it's apparently important for you to act like an ass towards Proton.

Occam's razor is pretty clear on an asian person using the number 88 and you claiming it must have something to do with nazi dogwhistles.

And no, an affiliate program is not sponsorship. And no, Andy saying that a single person in Trump's previous cabinet had a history of supporting small tech vs big tech was not a "Trump endorsement" and all the other conspiracy theories you managed to drag up in this thread.

@troed That ain't a denial, and I'm not the one defending the defenders of the Cavalcade of Incompetence here.

The Reddit post linked in this toot has some additional info.

tl;dr: it’s as bad as it looks.

[gatogatogato@ohai.social]

@troed @Infoseepage @gotofritz @slothrop So by staying with Proton as a paing customer doesn't mean my money ends up funding neofascists? Because that is really not what I want. But to be honest, as a working father of a 2yo I really lack the time and motiviation of migrating all my accounts again.

[troed@swecyb.com]

@gatogatogato

Correct, there's absolutely nothing even fash-adjacent with Proton.

(I'm a Visionary customer of Proton's - and I'm as opposite to authoritarian as can possibly be. They're doing good stuff with my money)

@pgiulan thanks!

I’ve updated the original post with the link you shared.

Happy to tag you, if you want - just let me know.

@gotofritz @slothrop @nileane

sit at a table with a fascist holocaust denier, and you too are a fascist holocaust denier....

Irredeemable damage to their brand, I mean big front page of, get away from US based right wing tech, use home grown fascist tech instead.

[zzt@mas.to]

@slothrop holy shit, proton’s reply is very visibly LLM slop. they’re not even trying anymore.

[phillip@social.lol]

@slothrop @nileane I archived their AI-ass response just in case

[joe@toot.works]

@slothrop Got a screenshot? Reddit blocks me from seeing Reddit, so I can't read it.

[troed@swecyb.com]

@Infoseepage Proton literally screwed up their vetting, owns the mistake and will correct their procedure from now on.

Have you ever worked at a company?

@Infoseepage

No they didn't "LOL"

Read more. Post less.

"The response wasn't written with the help of AI, I (the person replying to you right now) personally wrote it. Unless you mean to imply I myself am AI... "

(from the Reddit thread - which also includes comments from people who know that AIs are trained on how PR people write which, incidently, is why output from PR persons sound that way ... and yes, the same department I worked at also had the Developer Communication _PR and marketing trained_ people and that's what it looks like)
