@mayel @bhaugen Mastodon users are abuse victims and ProtonMail was predating on these people before the v4.0 and removing their presence from the Fediverse. They probably don't want to talk about their families; in my personal case, I never wanted to blame mine for what happened to me (that was related to my transidentity, so not their fault, but I wasn't sure a few years ago). It's also still a gamified space with little more to offer than followers counts, leading to all sorts of gaslightings including the impossibility to criticize what's being gamified (i.e. what they associate with a quantitative feedback, be it followers, a paycheck, or experience points).
