I didn't say defending, I said helping. Which you are.

The question is not is Proton perfect in every conceivable way, the question is: is it more private than Google and the answer to that is yes.

When you opine on social media that Proton is somehow just as bad as Google you are helping doing the work of Google and that's the part that (again I don't truly believe this) makes me wonder if Google/Meta/Twitter is sowing the social web with seeds of doubt about more private alternatives.

Probably anti-Proton. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but the amount of pro BlueSky, anti Proton, anti Signal people I see on Lemmy make me wonder sometimes.

I see, then what you're asking for is sadly impossible.

Also FWIW I do not have the same issue as you. Not sure why!

Yes, but there are no (cannot be) any content rules that apply to the entire fediverse, the admins of each instance determine what experience their users will have.

Not everyone is seeing the same posts you are seeing, and your instance has no rules on the topic. You could have more luck enacting change by messaging your admins or making a meta post in your instance's meta community.

I think immutability actually takes away from the confusion and kind of makes the overall experience much more similar to windows where editing system files is something rarely done even among most power users.

Nobody really seems to be pointing out that you are on an instance that does not require the behavior you are requesting.

I would suggest installing Fedora Kinoite, poke around it for 20-30min and if you find it too confusing then just putting windows back.

My point is that it's not a big decision/commitment. And it's trivial to undo!
