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

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. 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 answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

If you don't like Firefox or Mozilla, stop using it. If you feel that strongly about it, create a Fuck Mozilla community and post there to your heart's content. You're doing nothing in this community with your incessant posting about how Firefox and Mozilla are bad except making yourself feel good and destroying people's curated subscription feeds.

What a strange point of view. Are you from the Midwest?

Are you from the Midwest?

Hey, non-American here. What are the implications of this question?

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I associate the Midwest with a fake, forced, sense of "everything is ok". If you know the meme of the cartoon in the kitchen with the kitchen burning up around it...that's how I think of the default personality type in the Midwest. Don't rock the boat. Do what the law says. Respect authority. All that stuff.

So in this case the attitude of "listen, sure, this bulwark of the internet for 25 years may have just sold out and it's terrible, but they have the power and if you don't like it you should just use the one other worse alternative or suck it up and stop complaining", to me, literally SCREAMS "I'm from Ohio, home of voting for the deregulation which poisons our land and makes it so our rivers literally catch fire".

Ah, thanks. Yeah that makes sense.
