    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

    “we’re here as and independent voice”.

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

    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.

        Why even bother using the word if you’re going to self censor?

        They even gave you a perfectly good alternative and you corrected it with a self censored word. Do you like how tight your leash feels?

          I dunno. But at least I feel acknowledged by the time and effort you put into a response. I’m delighted you took that time for me.

            Seriously, examine the why’s of the things you do. If you don’t like cursing, don’t curse. Use different words. Censoring on the behalf of corporate interests immediately makes you the enemy of anyone with half a brain.

              I”ll choose my own words. If anyone read it, sounding it out in the reader’s inner voice would provide the intended understanding of what was being communicated. We ain’t writing code here. Ens—tification, enshitification. I understand it either way.

                I”ll choose my own words.

                But you don’t, clearly, because you’d rather opt for a word chosen for you by your corporate owners. In fact, you tried to correct someone choosing to use a different word than enshitification with your self censored version.

                Some people hate being put in a cage, others cheer - you seem like the latter.

                  You’re really falling for this. I’m happy to be occupying so much of your mind that you feel compelled to respond to every retort. I’m pretty sure you could hide your own Easter eggs. Good luck with everything.

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

      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?

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

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

    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.
