āWeāve decided to mingle with Nazis againā
Itās important to use clear language.
Idk it depends. Canāt evangelize the better way here because we know, those at X might not. FOSS is still a niche.
Those at X donāt care.
*most humans dont care. Iād 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 āoh haha idk what that is maybe Iāll look at it but everyone is already on fb I canāt leaveā.
Its a losing battle and Iāve basically stopped trying. People refuse to change and will give all their info and data away without a thought.
Pretty much. Weāre out in our own little bubble here. Which is both good and bad.
Basically, yes. Thatās why the issue is with lawmakers, and going to shitty platforms with the excuse of āitās to reach the people thereā is like when āleftā parties shift to the far right to try to reach their voters base.
Sorry but your comment is rather silly. You want to see this change on a legislative level? Okay sure, so do I, that would be great. But you also donāt want to reach out to people so that they care to make the change? Either because they culturally care or to write their reps. You should realize that those are connected and its why my fellow lemms donāt get to make real change as they not pragmatic about results.
I understand why you and others here feel that way. You are not wrong, but you are also implicitly surrendering your cause without firing a shot.
The people that understand are already here. The people that need to hear this are on Reddit/Twitter. Granted many donāt care. Just as many also donāt know to care one way or the other. By not reaching out to where they could be they will never know and become your ally. Therefore you have surrendered your cause as no one knew they could join it.
People have been screaming about these things for decades.
What was before coming from lack of awareness, is now caused by an increasingly wide gap between āsidesā and itās becoming an ideological war.
The ones that are not convinced by now, are convinced by the opposite side and arenāt going to switch. We need to stop thinking that we need to increase our numbers or whatever, and just act. Letās not fool ourselves, a handful of moronic nazis able to change the world for the worst, it doesnāt take that many people to actually change stuff. It just requires stubbornness.
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
Money. Itās always money.
Itās one thing to continue using the fascism pedophile app. Itās 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 thatād be fine, but theyāre not doing that!
āthe internet is changingā 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 āSame settings, new lookā.
So depressing watching them enshitify.
Why do they always seem so out of touch, it saddens me
What? Theyāre still run by the AI child porn generating nazis.
I guess Mozilla didnāt like seeing Mullvad get all the attention for supporting fascists, they had to do something!
What did Mullvad do?
One of their co-founders gave a huge donation to a far-right party in Swedenā72% of the partyās donations for 2025.
Disappointing, but yet another reminder that corporations are not your friends
the mullvad ceo donated millions to a far-right Swiss party that supports views like remigration. and when I say millions, itās not an exaggeration. he was their biggest donor.
To those that might not recognize the term, ethnic cleansing.
Millions of SEK, which is around 600 thousand dollars. Which is still a lot because last year they had 20 thousand (dollars)
booooo fuck the site formerly known as Twitter.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@wraptile@fosstodon.org Wayland is the future, stop flirting with X, it is dead dead dead!
I lolāed, thank you.
God fuck them and stay off elons nazi bar website
Usage of å is approval of it. Embarrassing.
Why are you bringing Hindus into this?
Why is everyone acting like theyāve never seen a ninja-star?!?!
Great, they finish ripping MV2 out of chrome and hereās firefox ready to be whatever the fuck they want with impunity
Why do people still use Xitter
Itās the biggest social media site in the world.
Please donate to mozilla so that they can buy a spine.
Didnāt they install some facebook suckholes to be in charge fairly recently?
I forget.
Oh well. Uninstall and move on. āTwas a good run.
Google funds fascist political campaigns and I donāt think Mozilla does. Seems worse to me than using shitter. And it doesnāt 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.
And Google funds Firefox, to the tune of basically their entire budget. They donāt take individual donations.
I literally donate to Mozilla every month, soā¦
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, Iām not entirely sure what to do with that information. I ask again,
Heavens no. Use a fork, and probably donāt donate to Mozilla unless you agree with how theyāre spending your donations (i.e. not Firefox).
Iād use Firefox over Chrome no question, but Iād use a decent fork of Chrome before Firefox.
Any recommendations for an open source alternative? This might be the final straw for me as wellā¦
tbh, chromium is better anyway. i had to switch to that for work stuff and its been blowing ff out of the water
I wonder if theyād 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
āFunnyā how in many sites like that one, one can only ālikeā or āheartā, but thereās no possibility of ādislikeā. Itās full Orwellās 1984 and *Newspeak* on those sites ā and spreading everywhere really.
Deletes Firefox from laptop, phone and tablet and replaces with Vivaldi. Fire who? I barely new him.
shame!
nothing has changed on twitter since they left, only worse, why
The pally way theyāve been replying to obvious nazi accounts is so disturbing.
@wraptile @firefox Mozilla was attempting to crowdfund its CEO's salary last year, if I recall correctly. I wonder who paid big bucks?
