MODERATORS
The beauty of federation is that the official Proton Mastodon account was tagged and throughr Mastadon they could directly answer into the thread here :-)
Can but don't
They reply when they have something to say. They don't reply just for the case of replying.
I've received several replies from them.
Exactly, we're here reading and helping in any way we can.

Here?
Yes. In fact, you can see their replies here, if you had bothered checking:
https://mastodon.social/@protonmail/with_replies
That's not here on Lemmy. You would know that if you had bothered checking.
You're the one who said "Here". And to me "Here" is on Mastodon.
Be precise in your questions if you want precise answers.
"Here" is not Mastodon. You're posting to Lemmy. I don't need precise answers, just ones that aren't wrong.
All this conversation is happening on Matodon in my case. I don't even know or care what Lemmy is.
Also hi Daz, nice to meet you again :D
@Nelizea Hey! We meet again πβ
Yea I am glad, even though you don't know what Lemmy is, we're able to interact, thats cool. Hope so see you more often around here from whichever frontend or service you access the information π
Yes, I'll be hanging around _here_ πβ
I'll contribute when something interesting appears in my streams.
Happy to hear that!
No it isn't. If you don't know what it is, consider educating yourself instead of confidently stating an incorrect position.

You really ought educating yourself more before posting such stuff please. The commenter you're answering to is using Mastodon, replying via Mastodon and we see the answers here. You can verify that fact yourself here:

We use lemmy and can read and answer straight into Mastodon. This is the beautfy of the federation and the ActivityPub protocol. It is possible to interact with eachother between different services.
In the following link as example, the Proton team answered from Mastodon and we can view the comment in lemmy:

It doesn't matter where the team answered into, fact is the teams answer can be visible here.

"Here"...on Lemmy. This community is on Lemmy. You are confused.
fact is the teams answer can be visible here.
I've already addressed this. I never said they can't. They CAN see it, but they DON'T reply here, as I stated several replies earlier.
I am not confused at all. My quote literally shows otherwise, however this discussion is senseless. There's no here with federation and ActivityPub protocol. I am out of that discussion now.
My quote literally shows otherwise
Once again, your quote literally shows one of many replies on Mastodon. Not Lemmy.
Show me 3 replies to a post or comment in a Lemmy community and I will concede I was wrong.
They almost always reply on Mastodon and (as far as I can tell), NEVER on Lemmy. That's not a coincidence.
There's no here with federation and ActivityPub protocol.
Yes there is because the protocol is not flawless in its' interoperability.
Sometimes they do ;-) However I do think that is a question better asked for the community so people can share their experiences.
For an out of the box system, Netshield works good indeed. If you want more customization and better granular control, you can achieve more with NextDNS. Out of the box, NextDNS is empty and you'll have to choose for yourself what you're blocking. Thus out of the box, Netshield is better. Once you're having a proper NextDNS config, you're likely to block a little more with NextDNS, based on personal experience.
You can check or benchmark the blocking as example here: https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html
For that reason, personally I am using NextDNS.
Disclaimer:
- This is not officially endorsed by Proton VPN.
- Use at your own risk (like with any custom DNS)
- This will leak DNS requests on purpose outside of the Proton VPN Tunnel to NextDNS, with DoH enabled, for the purpose of a better customization of DNS blocking.
tl;dr: For a normal user, Netshield is good enough. For more technical user needing a better granular control, NextDNS bight be better. Read the disclaimer.
@Nelizea Thank you, and fantastic tool!
You are welcome. By the way, I posted a guide here for Proton VPN & NextDNS on iOS / ipadOS / macOS:
https://lemmy.world/post/4065911?scrollToComments=true
For Android it is simpler, as you don't need the whole configuration profile and adaptation of config part:
-
Download the WireGuard App from the Play Store / Aurora / WireGuard homepage+ download the WireGuard config from https://account.protonvpn.com
-
Import the config and enable the tunnel into the WireGuard app
-
Set the private DNS in the Android Network settings to the *DNS-over-TLS/QUIC" Address you can find at https://my.nextdns.io -> Setup
