I’ve never noticed the lack of port forwarding actually impacting the ability to seed (I’m sure it’s slower and harder for peers to find you but if you’re actively downloading new things you’re constantly announcing on trackers and DHT and if you leave something reasonably popular to seed you’ll seed) but I am not a Proton user, I suppose they could be doing some kind of no seed crap like when Facebook was pirating to train its AI.
The raison d’etre of Starmer Labour is to lurch to the right as a fourth center right party. They don’t care about winning any more than the neolib DNC in the US. The entire purpose of the party is to cockblock the dirty hippies and deprive them of a party, win or lose.
