When Google does something incredibly evil and malicious people react like it's usual, but when Mozilla do something stupid and gets back after feedback it gets so overblown. Hey people, learn to live in the world that tries to rage bait you

Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -

No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions

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. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
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.

because the terms of use "backlash" was just overblown Internet hysteria
Who upvores these shit posts? I don't understand.
@FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org This "shit post" as you call it, is a post I posted on my Firefish account, addressed to my followers and a few extra people and it ended up somehow republished here (wherever "here" is, a Lemmy or Mbin instance I assume, seeing how accounts like yours look on my feed) looking like I manually did it.
Honestly, I'm not exactly happy about this either.
Fair enough. I don't truly understand how all this federated stuff works. It's not really explained well in my opinion.
No because it was colossally overblown to begin with.
They'll just do it again later more sneakily
Yep, a company that does something in the first place will always do it again.
I'll use whatever gecko browser that works best. LibreWolf currently.
We who?
Make the decision for yourself, crowd following doesn't replace an informed decision.
@FauxLiving@lemmy.world It's a figure of speech.
Honestly it still is the lesser evil
As more and more people drift away from corporate control of our connections, I wonder when the U.S. will introduce laws to ban these user controlled environments in the name of national security.
I'm going to refuse to agree to the TOU when they try to force it on me. If they block me from using FF without the TOU then I will switch to something else. I think everyone should consider waiting until they try to force a TOU and then rejecting it, if you want to send a strong message.
So you dislike the updated tou of the updated tou? What do you dislike?
