This is too much information being processed at a time to me! 😵‍💫

Does it matter that they don't run an instance?

As long as they have accounts and keep them up to date, that is the main thing.

How many open source projects actually run and moderate instances?

The effectiveness of the internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability (protocols, data formats, content), innovation and decentralized participation worldwide.

- Mozilla Manifesto, Principle 6, emphasis mine

This sucks (Was it really costing much money to run?) but as long as Firefox continues to work with full-flavor ublock I'm happy.

did an AI become their CEO by now? dumb moz foundation.

I guess hating Mozilla is very much in fashion. The tech chatterati have made it so.

They’ll move on, as they always do. I just hope Firefox is still here.

Critiquing Mozilla when they make mistakes is not the same as hating them. It is healthy to keep these organizations accountable

The issue is all signs point to them pivoting to AI and ad driven nonsense - they'll move on, but if the product goes to shit so will I. The rest is noise.

Weird that they called it a “Beta”, like running a chat server you didn’t code is somehow an experiment. Just say you couldn’t be arsed running it anymore.

Can we all just use a "bad browser" that isn't "as good" as these exploitative mainstream browsers by specifically giving up on websites that require a browser that exploits us? We shouldn't need to be exploited.

That's what I do!

Website don't work? I immediately leave and don't think about it ever again

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Yeah! Websites be too needy.
