Off-Topic but feel like it is important to share this: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/114590-000-A/abgehoert/ (various subtitles are avaible). It is a documentary made mostly of phone calls between Russian soldiers and their families and friends. It is hard to listen and watch, but if you want to really be able to feel what is happening there this is unpararelled.

Literally one complement =/= kissing ass

Yea, let’s switch to some other service that is less maintained because of a compliment to a guy we don’t like.

“Wtf Proton is same of Zuckerberg & Musk” No it is not. Not even close.

Can you provide your source (no pun intended)?

Would be nice if you could edit your OP to reflect that.

If you are on TikTok then both can spy on you. Before your traffic can go to china it has to go through the US.

It’s ridiculous how many people just go “oh well time to dump Proton” because of a picture (not even a link) of a tweet without context. Also the title is misleading. Andy Yen in this picture is complementing Trump, and also apperently posting facts about who started the antitrust actions. “Embracing” is, really, as I have written, misleading.

Nobody had to go kiss the ring they payed for his campaign because THEY WANTED to please him. Edit: Typo

This is what I have found about the governmance structure of OpenAI. It’s complicated but basically the working company is a for-profit controlled by a non-profit, controlled by employees and other investors, the non-profit is also controlled by a board of driectors. Also it’s all based in the US.

The Mastodon model is probably going to be a lot simpler and will probably not allow big investors to take ownership of the company. Also they are looking for a suitable country in the EU that will enforce the non-profit’s obligations to the people. Being based in the EU is in itself a huge difference, and by choice. They have not set anything in stone yet so it’s all specualtion essentialy.

Also there is the trust thing: OpenAI does not need trust from people, other AI companies are for profit too and work just fine. Mastodon is build around the fact that it is different from things like twitter. If they start doing maliciuos stuff, they will loose trust and in turn their main selling point. Also openness.

Also it is open source is it not? So any progress they have made can be used to create a competitor. Basically the whole business model is different.
