    Please, Mozilla, explain in detail exactly in which way the internet is changing again, that requires you to return to Faschitter? Please help me make sense of this.

      Sadly plenty of ppl still use Twitter, plenty of companies and celebs still doing their thing there. Why do we have to single out Firefox? It’s not a company that as ideals like most people here do. Yeah their new stuff is definitely shady, but it’s that for Chromium. I’ll still use Firefox, this doesn’t bother me at all, cuz honestly who gives a fuck. I get the optics, but we do not live in a perfect world of morals and ideals. I only have limited energy I can dish out and this affects me 0% so I’ll put that much into it. People are addicted to being angry all the time…

        My comment isn’t really about them returning to X. It’s about them blaming it on some type of sudden change in the internet that’s supposedly happening “again”, that’s forcing them to return. Just be honest and say it’s for the reason you mentioned, that they want to reach as many as possible. 👍

    The only way to get ahead in today’s world is to abandon all of your principles. What a shitty set-up.

        reaching people where they are.

        Aaaand that’s how we got Twitter.

        There is no “reaching people.” Twitter is algorithmic. It only shows posts to people who’d find it engaging; in others words, you’re either posting into a black hole, preaching to the choir, or intentionally rage baiting.

        The is no point in advocacy there. It gives the illusion of it, but it’s a lie.

        Now, if they want to prepend every post with a link to Bluesky/Fediverse?

        That’s great.

        A siphon off the site is great. They’d probably get deprioritized for it, kinda like how posting Lemmy links seems to get one shadowbanned on Reddit. But participating in Twitter is otherwise just feeding the trolls.

      Companies don’t have morals, all they have is just profit. Why are you holding Firefox to some mythical standard? It’s a company, it’s only gotten shadier. Can’t wait when other browsers hit the market in a couple years and Firefox will eventually die. Just a matter of time, they can’t increase their market share for fuck all.

    Fucking cowards. So many spineless losers who clutched their pearls after The Salute and pledged to leave. Too many other cowards stayed, so now they go back because “we can’t lose touch with all the cowards”.

      It’s just that classic corporate moral grandstanding in another flavor, like companies who are pro-Pride for June but forget queer people exist 11 months of the year, or worse, only have Pride acknowledgement during Democrat presidencies.

      Virtually every (large) (for-profit) company’s moral compass is: Get more money.

      If fully endorsing Hitler would result in a 1% rise in profits, they’d do it.

      If Mozilla needs money they can start by firing whomever they hired to run it.

    Oh fuck off Mozilla. You really want to contribute to finance fucking nazis because “That’s where people are”? What a world of spineless losers we have built.
