So? Is it that hard to believe that a company that's working in today's environment is using one of the most effective platforms out there even if it's run by a white supremacist?

News at 11, most people suck and don't have the stomach to not use something popular even if they're run by a horrible human being.

"we're here as and independent voice".

Yeah, sure. Tell Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Israel to fuck off, just to test your independence.

I support Firefox doing whatever Firefox needs to do to keep doing what they do.....

I won't fucking touch it, but I need them to continue to exist so I can use forks of it like waterfox and librewolf

Use ecosia instead?

The internet is changing how btw? Are they referring to the sloppening?

Unsure why people are so pissy.

If you want hearts and minds for a cause, do you go to the people who already agree or do you go to where the others are?

How do you expect them to spread the word of their product(s) if they are not where the "normies" are?

This has nothing to do with any of that. twitter is a fascist run fascist social media. You don't go there because you don't go hang out with fascists.

Right so I'll go preach to the church choir about Christianity then. Widen your horizons, homie.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

I mean by hanging out with the fascists you legitimize them. Are you going to convert more away than you bring by legitimizing them?

They gotta do a lot worse than being on X for me to bail on Firefox.

disgusting. common Mozilla L.

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 14 points 10 hours ago

We don't need to replace Firefox. We need to fork it away from Mozilla, in the stewardship of a better organization.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 32 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

So I guess Firefox holds respect in zero value. There's no excuse for returning to Twitter.

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

What if a cartel of cyber bridge trolls kidnap your grandma and the only way to view their riddles is reopening old social media? Is that a good excuse?

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Now how does one refer to a tweet in the past tense? Does a tweet ever become a twat?

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Firefox could do nothing but provide a standard working browser and be loved, but instead they go out of their way to be hated

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 12 hours ago

They must have CEOs that think you always need to act, when sometimes inaction is the best action

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago

Do they even have a Tee-ball team?

[–] BlindPenguin@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Damn, it's refreshing to see the comments here. The reddit sub seems mostly unmoderated and now there are a bunch of Elon fanboys screaming words they don't understand.

[–] yrnttm@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Elon has had every chance and advantage. He has had tremendous success. And yet he chooses to be a villain. I'm not interested in using anything he touches.

covid broke his mind, moved over to texas once california demanded more safetry protocols, and taxes. bought X, originally tried to hype his own stocks, but he was forced to buy it. since nobody supported him he decided to go full nazi and support republicans instead, which resulted in him rigging the election.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 hours ago

Covid just made him show his true colors. The Thai cave rescue saga where he called that guy a pedo for rescuing the children without his help was 2018. There are emails between him and Epstein about visiting the island for a party from 2012 and 2013. 2016 he was announced as an advisor to Trump #1.

He's actively been exactly who he is for decades. The EVs and SpaceX are about his savior complex. HE needs to save the world. If it's not him, then it's going to be no one.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Well, there’s that. Nothing to disagree with here. 👍
