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.

Link is to the Bluesky account that tracks companies moving to Bluesky (in particular, but it is in this case so I felt it's a fitting link).

They in turn link to the Firefox Bluesky profile.

I think the most concrete thing they've done is remove the Twitter/X icon from their web site. If you scroll down to the footer, you can see their social links, which no longer point to Twitter for either @Mozilla or @Firefox.

Links provided on Mozilla's website:

  • [x] Bluesky
  • [x] TikTok
  • [x] Instagram
  • [x] Linkedin
  • [x] Spotify
  • [x] YouTube

What's not there:

  • [ ] Mastodon
  • [ ] RSS
  • [ ] PeerTube
  • [ ] PixelFed

True champions of the open web right here.

To be fair, if people have already seen the light, there's less use in championing to them.

Would kinda be nice to communicate with them though. Right now it feels more like FireFox is disappearing from the light.

And there are plenty of people on ActivityPub who are not open source or privacy enthusiasts. I'm not saying they shouldn't communicate in other channels as well, but committing to web standards and open platforms would be a minimum degree of practising what they preach. In my opinion, anyway.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I fully agree, but since your lists includes Mastodon, RSS, PeerTube, and PixelFed, that sounds like it's what's happening?

[–] aasatru@kbin.earth 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ah, sorry - I wrote check boxes, so [x] indicates what is there, [ ] indicates what is not. The four last options are not listed on their website.

Maybe not the most obvious syntax - I was half hoping markdown rendering on here would support check lists. :)

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 4 points 3 days ago

Oh! Yeah that might be the interface I'm using, it's rendering them all as bullets. Never mind then, I get your point.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

Oh that's fair enough.
