That’s actually insane.
I wonder if they’ve just sent out a generic rejection without checking it.

It’s not harmless. They’re maliciously using downvotes and as a consequence lemmy’s algorithm will rank OPs content lower.
This isn’t a case of downvoting individual statements you disagree with, it’s harassment.
The mod took down my post without any comment, reply, or reason.
This is definitely enough reason to post in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
It also opens up an interesting debate about what is appropriate. While the mod action is understandable (they don’t want rival communities), it’s a bit of a misuse of mod tools to delete it in my opinion.
Then separately they’re harassing you by following you round downvoting everything you post. That’s the sign of somebody unhinged. They are able to compartmentalise actions that occur inside their community from the wider Lemmy.
The game itself is cheaper than that. I suspect they chose to pay for a deluxe edition
Well, the latest development I’ve seen is they’re deleting (censoring) comments calling out the political bias of their CEO on their post about how they’re fighting against censorship:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1ij4qn9/behind_the_scenes_of_proton_vpns_fight_against/
Here’s an evidenced account of part of what their CEO asserted:
This is what the CEO posting as u/Proton_Team stated in a response on r/ProtonMail:
Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot:
Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.
Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.
At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.
By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.
Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.
Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

However be aware that the CEO posting as u/Proton_Team kept editing his comments so I wouldn’t trust the current state of it. Plus the proton team/subreddit mods deleted a ton of discussion they didn’t like.

I learned about it from an r/privacy thread but true to their reputation the mods there also went on a deletion spree and removed the entire post: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/

There’s also this lemmy discussion from the day after but by that point the Proton team had fully kicked in their censorship so I don’t know how much people were aware of (apologies I don’t know how to make a generic lemmy link) https://feddit.uk/post/22741653
Can you share more info about it? Why did you choose it, any pros or cons? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.
I decided to not even bother with a significant number of mods because they just seemed mind numbingly confusing to set up.
I’m not complaining, I’m just wondering if I’m missing some trick or something.
I think you made the right choice here.
There’s no quality control in modding communities so I’d say the effort the developer puts into the install instructions is going to be a reasonable indicator of the quality of the mod itself.
How apt, just yesterday I put together an evidenced summary of the CEOs recent absurd comments. Why are Proton so keen to throw away so much good will people had invested in them?!

Indeed, that’s why I use the AGPL license. Corporations hate it because it forces them to give back.
That’s actually pretty reasonable. I’d be happy to make my open source projects compliant for a company - but they can damn well pay me for the effort.
Pretty sure it’s 3rd April
