I know this isn't the first strike for Proton either.

    If I'm being uncharitable, I don't think you're curious at all and are drawing a false equivalency between two completely different things to make what I said about a poorly picked software name seem more egregious and like my primary concern in all parts of life is how others perceive me over what is best for myself and others.

    If I'm being charitable and/or misinterpreting, perhaps you mean that nobody should care what those people think in any circumstance because giving into their negative perceptions sometimes means giving into harmful behavior such as not masking or using more private/secure software due to its poorly picked name.

    If Tuta was the only other company in the world, I'd settle for them no problem. And while I do mask in public, that doesn't mean that people staring at me isn't uncomfortable and anxiety inducing.

      I think you understood the point I'm getting at, which, to your credit, you delivered more eloquently in your second paragraph than I've managed to do so in any of my comments in this thread.

        Right on. Sorry for jumping the gun. Had too many instances on Lemmy of people inferring things I didn't mean.

          All good, no need to apologize. You have a valid concern, and I agree these examples aren't the same, but IMO only by degrees of magnitude. I guess I'm just over giving a damn what others think about this stuff. Let me say sorry for coming off so prickly.
