Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please donβt fuel conspiracy thinking here. Donβt try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answersβwhich is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@owenfromcanada it's such a low risk principle. If they break on this imagine what other things they break on. Completely untrustworthy and incompetent organization.
Idk it depends. Can't evangelize the better way here because we know, those at X might not. FOSS is still a niche.
Those at X don't care.
*most humans dont care. I'd say 90% have zero clue of the fediverse, and do not realize why big tech centralization is horrendous for humanity.
Tell me how many folks have converted to Lemmy or matrix or peertube from their corpo counterparts. Of my hundreds of fb friends, I have 2 that I had to basically twist their arm to use signal. 2. The rest go "oh haha idk what that is maybe I'll look at it but everyone is already on fb I can't leave".
Its a losing battle and I've basically stopped trying. People refuse to change and will give all their info and data away without a thought.
Pretty much. We're out in our own little bubble here. Which is both good and bad.

@InternetCitizen2 @owenfromcanada and to whom are they evangelizing on twitter? I'd genuinely like to see their growth campaign here because 100$ says it's non-existent.
I have personally done twitter growth in the past and there's nothing there unless you're selling scams or shitcoins.
Most ppl know about twt/reddit not mastodon or Lemmy. That's where newer users will be and you can drop comments to let them know about us here.
If us Lemmy/Mastodon users want more people, we could do our own "marketing" by creating engagement rage bait conversations on those posts ... But do we want to? Probably not.

Why the fuck did they think coming back was a good idea? The internet is changing for the worse and xitter is one of the places that is making it worse, abandoning that shithole is a step into making things better
Why the fuck did they think coming back was a good idea
Money. It's always money.
Itβs one thing to continue using the fascism pedophile app. Itβs something else to leave and come back.
To come back by practically apologizing!
Yeah if the only reason they came back were daily doodles of a firefox pissing on Trump or Musk that'd be fine, but they're not doing that!
"the internet is changing" like all of a sudden neonazi techbros and their platform where they make genAI child porn are cool and okay again, according to Mozilla. absolutely bonkers shit take
Man mozilla is so embarrassing these days.
Did a reinstall recently and noticed you can no longer delete the FAANG search engines from the browser, now you can only toggle them off. Made all the worse by a fun little pop-up with the redesign saying "Same settings, new look".
So depressing watching them enshitify.
Why do they always seem so out of touch, it saddens me
What? Theyβre still run by the AI child porn generating nazis.
I guess Mozilla didn't like seeing Mullvad get all the attention for supporting fascists, they had to do something!

Usage of ε is approval of it. Embarrassing.
Why are you bringing Hindus into this?
Why is everyone acting like they've never seen a ninja-star?!?!
booooo fuck the site formerly known as Twitter.
@wraptile@fosstodon.org Wayland is the future, stop flirting with X, it is dead dead dead!
I lol'ed, thank you.
They are positioning to inject CSAM generator Grok in the browser.
not even gonna read the other comments, because
WHAT THE FUCK FIREFOX/MOZILLA
FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God fuck them and stay off elons nazi bar website
Great, they finish ripping MV2 out of chrome and here's firefox ready to be whatever the fuck they want with impunity
Oh well. Uninstall and move on. 'Twas a good run.
Google funds fascist political campaigns and I don't think Mozilla does. Seems worse to me than using shitter. And it doesn't matter if you are using another chromium fork, Google is still getting more power to control web standards if you use a browser based on theirs.
Google funds fascist political campaigns
And Google funds Firefox, to the tune of basically their entire budget. They don't take individual donations.
I literally donate to Mozilla every month, so...
Is the point that you should go ahead and use chrome because Mozilla currently has a shitty funding model?
You can donate to Mozilla , but those donations will not be used for Firefox development (no developer salaries, etc). Firefox is developed by a for-profit that only takes money through sponsorship deals like the Google search partnership. Your donations are used for everything else, including tens of millions of dollars of AI venture capital grants for example.
Okay, well assuming that is true, I'm not entirely sure what to do with that information. I ask again,

Didn't they install some facebook suckholes to be in charge fairly recently?
I forget.
Please donate to mozilla so that they can buy a spine.
I wonder if they'd be better off if Mozilla starts selling VPN, DNS, mail, drive and LLM services akin to Proton.
Good news, we can answer that.
Among other things, they joined X again
