    I don’t know what they’re responding to though, because this post only has their reply.

    they platformed a well known french fascist.

      I know that. This is a reply to a specific statement or post or something that someone made. It says it’s a stickies comment in the picture.

      Edit: Your comment is wrong though. They didn’t platform a fascist. That means the fascist used Proton’s platform. Instead Proton purchased space in the Fascist’s platform. The fascist platformed Proton, but Proton paid them. Still bad. Just a correction.

        you’re working from a different definition of “platform.” I’m using the modern sense: giving someone a stage or amplifying their voice, not just hosting them on your own service.

          Yeah, that’s the same way I’m using it. I have no idea how paying for an ad in one of their videos is amplifying their voice. It’s amplifying Proton’s, but not this Fascist’s… well, until the controversy at least

          Again, still bad. No one should be giving Fascists money. It’s using their platform to spread Proton though, not the other way around.
