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.

Kit was created by a team of people, not generated by AI. And Kit isn’t an AI assistant or a chatbot.

Glad they cleared that up right away. The only mentions of AI are practically apologies, which is a good sign. I guess bullying works.

In the end, we agreed that Kit isn’t a fox nor a red panda. Kit is a Firefox, its own creature — with attributes from both a fox and a red panda, and perhaps a little fire magic.

This feels like it's for the kind of demographic that the platonic ideal of Firefox should represent.
