    i deleted the crossposts of this post from /c/privacy@lemmy.ml and /c/opensource@lemmy.ml (because protonmail is a faux-opensource snakeoil privacy product) and flagged the posts in other communities as spam.

    I find your response discouraging, and your actions appear excessive. While Proton may not be flawless, it does offer superior privacy protection when compared to commonly used options like Google and Microsoft.

    I volunteered my time and effort to craft the post, including citations, offering more background information, and incorporating reliable links to official resources. However, you made claims without substantiation, deleted the crossposts of my post from /c/privacy@lemmy.ml and /c/opensource@lemmy.ml, and flagged the posts in other communities as spam. Your decision seems to be unsupported by members of the four communities I had shared my post to.

    It’s disheartening to see such actions taken without proper consideration, thereby causing harm to the privacy community at large. Avoiding hasty decisions that may stifle valuable contributions within the privacy community should be paramount. Consequently, I respectfully ask you to reconsider your initial reaction, abstaining from premature removals rooted in personal opinions devoid of solid backing.

    By embracing a balanced stance that values both freedom of expression and responsible fact-checking, we contribute positively towards nurturing healthy debates and maintaining transparent communication channels. In light of this, I hope you will take the necessary steps to reinstate the removed posts, allowing for continued conversation on their merits.

    Edit: You have now banned me from both of those communities.

    Edit: You have deleted another post of mine from c/privacy@lemmy.ml that was titled “Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal”, with your reason being that it is “snakeoil spam” even though the community members do not think so (the post has more than 750 upvotes)
