What data do they pass on that is concerning here?

The comments about header info is literally how email works.

Proton - "The recent appointment of Gail Slater as Assistant AG for Anti-Trust is a good step in the right direction... Democrats sold out their progressive politics to corporate interests and haven't made ground in this area"

Insane People - "WHAT ABOUT THE QUEER PEOPLE??? I am moving my email to Tuta"

I'm paraphrasing... but can somebody please make it make sense?

Side note... there is no chance Trump actually wrote that post himself.

@MediaActivist @x51

Why can't I find somebody actually explaining this damage, though?

@LordsofHardwired @jonathankoren @MediaActivist

Before you do that... What exactly is Proton doing here that you have a problem with?

Being email? (Cause the concerns regarding header data will the case with all)

Or comparing Democrats and Republicans on Anti-Trust priorities?

@feld Is Polestar avilable in the US at all?

Telsa was the No.1 seller here last year, but I doubt this dominance will continue in the long term. The major car manufacturers are moving into the space in big ways, and there are many great options without the Elon factor already with already significant sales growth.

@feld

You shouldn't buy a Tesla cause they aren't a good investment or the best electric car on the market.

But if the whole Nazi thing is what you need to help you make that decision... that's fine too.

@micahflee @feld

I'm not saying they are the same Big Tents.

They are firmly different voters with different priorities in each

What I mean is that the Republicans can fit Anti-Vaxxers, Racists, Transphobes, Gun Nuts, etc... who care about different things while not concerning themselves in what they differ on.

The left spends more time arguing about the minutia of what they don't agree with... which results in less time focused on the macro they agree on.

@feld @micahflee

"It's OK to acknowledge when people you absolutely loathe do something good. It doesn't erase their sins."

This is what so much of the Left (which I am firmly a part of on basically every issue) don't seem to grapple with.

It's the reason the right "Big-Tent" Politics translates to election victories and the Left's version translates to in-fighting.

@micahflee @feld

I don't see much praise mentioned in any of the official posts from Proton... the CEO's comments were a little tone-deaf in the current climate, but I'm not losing sleep over them.

I think "Republicans seem more willing to act on Anti-Trust" is the crux of their commentary... and as I said, on the surface, I am inclined to agree. In practice, I don't see this actually happening, though.

@micahflee @feld

Because he was the candidate for VP... and was likely a powerful force on the issue regardless of the outcome of the 2024 election.

How did writing him off as a fascist, tech bro, unworthy of talking to work out for Dems?

It seems like it worked out pretty well for him and the Republicans.

*Please don't interpret any of this as support... I'm just sick of the attitudes of "Fuck all these people" and then having nothing to show for it when they end up in power.

@micahflee

Can somebody point to the exact part of their commentary I'm meant to be outraged about?

Their official response is a pretty perfect summary of how little Democrats actually did on the issues of anti-trust... and although I have no faith in Republicans to be better in practice, I don't think the comparison on the surface level is a bad one.

@Gargron this is literally the promise of the fediverse... Without it I don't think Threads should be considered a part of it.
