@aral Am curease why you don't interact with socialhub, yes it's a mess, yes people can be pointless, but it is the grassroots space, and these are the people we need to try and work with, composting comes to mind.

@aral I get that Mozilla getting into ads is unpopular. But you've also highlighted their dependancy on Google as problematic.How would you recommend they fund themselves?

@fabienmarry I couldn’t care less. As their head of public policy once told me, they’re “just another Silicon Valley tech company.” So they’re the wrong vehicle to provide a browser for the common good (or anything else). And yes, I could care less how just another Silicon Valley tech company funds itself. What I do care about is them representing themselves publicly as something they are not, being a honeypot for devs who care, and generally sucking all the air out of the room.

@aral @fabienmarry this the crux of the problem. It’s a UX facade over the same old thing. It’s great that Mozilla makes a browser and keeps the web rendering scene from being limited to chromium, but they are trapped by the image they have cultivated of being *the good one*. Everything they do in the name of business will feel deceptive in that context because they gained false legitimacy as an organisation which is somehow not putting themselves first.
