      Here is the tweet

      I know exactly what you’re referring to.

      if that’s not the most flagrant Trump bootlicking, I don’t know what is

      I agree, you don’t know what is. Agreeing with a single decision someone makes is not an endorsement. But that’s exactly the kind of irrational dichotomic reaction I expect from society these days.

      And here is the backpedal

      I don’t see anything here that could be construed as backpedaling. If he were smart he would have, but if anything, he doubled down several times.

      I believe what I read.

      You didn’t read that, you made it up.

        It’s kind of stupid to say that Republicans aren’t the party of big business anymore. Both parties are parties of big business.

          If you want to claim it was a stupid thing to say, I will agree with you 100%. If you want to claim that it was a tacit endorsement specifically of Trump, you are just wrong and spreading disinformation.

            “No you don’t get it! Supporting trump isn’t really supporting trump! Just bc the CEO likes Trump’s policy and endorsed him doesn’t mean he endorsed him!”

            Normal people don’t jerk off Trump like that. Dude is blatantly a Nazi, if you can’t see it that says a lot about you

              “Anyone who disagrees with me is a Trump supporter and a nazi!”

              See, I too can make up things that you didn’t say and put it in quotes and pretend like you did.

                  tell me why they left mastodon and bluesky

                  1. They didn’t leave BlueSky
                  2. The lack of an explanation is not an explanation.

                  gimme a good reason that isn’t him being a Nazi

                  That wouldn’t even be a good reason if it were true.

                You know sucking off CEOs won’t make them treat you any better than anyone else right?

            I’ll sometimes agree with stuff Trump does too, like appointing Tulsi Gabbard, but I’m not going to say this means Republicans have become the party of anti war lol

              What’s good about the Tulsi Gabbard here? Unless you just mean she (like all the Trump appointees) is the worst person for the job and it’ll make the country collapse faster lol

                She was pro Assad when no one else was, which I was a fan of, and of course she’s also probably very bad for the national intelligence apparatus. That’s not even accelerationism, they’re just fucking evil and need to be destroyed along with other spookery.

      I wouldn’t call that boot licking. Maybe a misguided opinion.

      I think he internet mob went a little hard on this one.

        A perfectly guided opinion. You do get why the CEO likes Trump and left the fediverse while staying on Twitter, right?

          Looking at the board of directors for the proton foundation, I’d say people are jumping to conclusions way too fast about proton.

          I don’t like that they’re ditching Mastodon to focus on reddit. But, it makes sense in a marketing perspective. Reddit has a LOT more users, and potential customers. If they indeed don’t have the resources to manage both then Reddit is the best option if they want to attract more people as customers. On Mastodon they’re pretty much preaching to the choir.
