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

I immediately blocked the new AI features. It’s cunningly strange how they worded it. “Toggle on to block AI features”, which means some people might look at it and think “it’s turned off, so the AI stuff must be disabled”. Sneaky.
I imagine that UI was kind of hard to put together though, since it's going to be confusing anyway. The UI is meant to allow people to toggle everything off, and add exceptions that they want to leave on. The reverse, however, is not needed: people don't really want to toggle everything "on", and then selectively disable things. To top that off, you also want to clarify that, after you toggle things off, new AI features that get added later will also be off automatically.
I imagine especially that latter part influence the "toggle on to block" design - that makes it an "active" setting to proactively disable things in the future.
IDK, I'm not a UI designer, but I see how it's hard.
