Proton: “We’re consolidating our social media presence due to limited resources and no longer posting on Mastodon. Follow us on Reddit for the latest updates: Reddit - Dive into anything”. This is unexpected, as they had around 50k subscribers on Mastodon, and mirroring posts is super easy. I find that concerning that they stopped posting on open and decentralized platform, but keep posting on Meta and X.

    They also can’t control the narrative on Mastodon like they do on Reddit and Lemmy through “volunteer mod” Nelizea. I’m glad I quit using them — they are becoming tech bro chuds (or maybe always were but just hid it better)

      Especially since reddit is quite ban happy about political narratives right now, gearing the site like with Facebook, who only pushes right wing.

        Reddit allows more control and is much aggressive in banning people sitewide as of recently. If you attempt to report a comment on reddit, you can get banned instead by the mod

        They control moderation, as they also do on Reddit. I don’t know about Lemmy but I have personally been shadowbanned on their Reddit sub. They can’t do that on Mastodon.
