Thank you for the response! I did read the other comments your post has received too. While it’s fair to assume an account that solely post one specific agenda is a bot or whatever, your specific described situation also makes a lot of sense. Not only that, your responses in the comments are very civil and informative, which I do appreciate. I do hope WMF gets their shit together. A lot of people rely on them.

Oh I absolutely should start reading usernames here. Didn’t notice that…

That was a very interesting read. I hope we get some follow-up on this, and maybe other such reports as well. It does sound highly problematic, and like a very toxic work environment.

I hope they stay open mindeu

Milk that company for all it’s worth. I love it.

A lot of awful AI art

I don’t use VPNs in general, but I did give Mullvad a try for a month because my friend had been talking about it. It’s simple to use and offers pretty much everything you might want from a VPN. They also take privacy VERY seriously. You can literally pay them in cash, if you want literally no digital footprint from your Mullvad purchase. It’s pretty neat.

I’ll have to mention though, I’m not a big VPN expert, but my experience was positive. I’m sure you’ll get more technical answers from other people.
