Gen X-Wing@mullvadnet The color choices are fantastic. Kudos to whoever made those.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll share this internally!
@mullvadnet Driving around in the U.S. in general billboards tends to be drab and for some reason use a lot of gray/blue and be kind of muted with the occasional red.
Those yellow backgrounds stood out enough that I noticed it just from the color.
(Could be local laws as well, who knows?)
~robby@mullvadnet I love the juxtaposition with the iphone advertisement
Orca 🌻 | 🎀 | 🪁 | 🏴🏳️⚧️@mullvadnet I like the quote of The Great Dictator very much 👍
ndmTorn on this.
First off, it's a good campaign. I love the parody of (notably unencrypted) Discord's "Imagine A Place". But I do hesitate when a company I love starts doing an ad blitz, because it's usually followed by some unsavory changes (again, Discord). It also usually signifies "we need more people to use our service" which comes with raising rates or adding tiers, and as someone with massive respect for Mullvad and a strong ambassador this makes me nervous.
Regardless, this goes hard:
Appreciate your concerns, but no need to worry.
samurro@ndm13 I am also interested on how this got financed? I would imagine such a marketing campaign isn't cheap?
Frisk@mullvadnet ohhhh, a reference to "The Great Dictator" speech, nice.
The: Daniel 💜@mullvadnet I saw one of your bus ads yesterday and posted it on Nostr. Are you there yet? I think you'd find a very receptive audience.

Not presently, and no plans for now.
@mullvadnet The first time I heard about Mullvad was there, and people speak very highly of it, especially for the ability to pay via Lightning.
calamus@mullvadnet This update with the website is super cool!
Glad you think so
