Yeah, all the scumbags who use this just for advertising only tried mastodon to see if it would have a significant amount of useful idiots.

While I understand the concern around not wanting to support Maga or far right leaning extremists. I take somewhat of a net neutral approach to this topic. Just because some company isn't doing something I like doesn't mean they haven't produced a good product. For instance people whine and bitch all the time about Apple using child labor but that doesn't stop most people from owning a iphone because we (Americans) like iphones. Amazon is a crazy huge company that has time and time again treated thier employees like trash and yet we still use amazon prime. What are we going to do if Farmers and slaughter houses all vote for Trump? Stop buying groceries? No. Most people only care when it's convenient to care. We don't really want change or progress because to be honest most of us aren't going to or want to take up arms and start another civil war all over again. The arguments and fighting we have in the states is nothing new. We'll stay silent and continue our word vomit on social platforms while the world eats us a live because really trying would be too hard. That's the truth.

It's also worth pointing out the fact that they offer free services; most likely, your data is their real product. That's to be expected with, say, a social media platform, but a VPN? That is a HUGE security threat. I'm just waiting for the proton security leak. The amount of sketchy data will be choice.
