Tell everyone about Lemmy and host an AMA here, maybe? Using Lemmy as a billboard for Reddit is kind of insulting.
I agree with the sentiment, but this is also a silly demand. Of course they do their ama where they have the most reach, and possibly share the info in smaller places such as this.
They can do whatever they want on Reddit, TBH. However, pointing Lemmy users to Reddit is a bad move in a number of ways. I won’t be touching Reddit for this, as an example.
Using Lemmy as a place to shit out advertising for a site that gives zero fucks about selling data to Google kinda rubs me wrong, especially since this AMA is just thinly veiled marketing… for a privacy app.
While “having the most reach” is a good argument for a few reasons, it doesn’t negate how Lemmy was used in this case.
Edit: Don’t let my sentiment get in the way of yours. I have nothing wrong with ProtonMail or what its goals are. However, I will get a little defensive of Lemmy and why many people are here to begin with.
They are moderately active on Mastodon, I saw them answering questions. So if you want to ask something, that could be a better option that is also not limited to a single AMA session.
I’d rather ask here: when is proton mail going to get rid of the google dependency?
They said something along the lines of it requiring to develop two separate apps and they don’t have the resources for that atm
That doesn’t sound right at all. Don’t they just need to change who they’re getting notifications from?
An alternative is https://protonmail.uservoice.com and vote on what features you want Proton to work on.
The fact that the AMA is happening on Reddit is so incredibly stupid, there is literally no reason to use this pile of garbage in 2024. Fuck spez
