    They mentioned Lemmy, Peertube, Organic Maps, Friendica, /e/ os, Sailfish, Linux Mint, Codeberg, Ecosia, Librewolf, Waterfox, Mastodon, Matrix and Blender!

    They have 100m users, this is a massive shoutout!

    Recommending /e/ OS for privacy concerns?

    Recommending Mastodon after they ditched it?

    Coming from Proton, with a Trump supporter CEO?

    This list is so unserious.

      I think we can safely assume that this Blog post was not run by their ceo and simply created by someone at Proton who thought it was a good idea
