However: Revenue is a good thing. Being trusted by the community is infinitely more valuable.

@something_random_tho

Good point.

@cmeio

Yes and no.

Obviously, the people questioned here, are not representative for the entire FF user community.

However: The Fediverse at large is a community of mostly tech-savvy people, who do care about independence from major corporations.

These are, in fact, also the people who are the core users and developers of FOSS software.

Whilst the exact percentage means nothing, the tendency is so clear that it should, at least, be taken into consideration.

You are definitely not alone!

Fake Professionalism!

I don’t believe that CEOs, who demand a 7 digit salary, have the ability to understand the soul and heart of a collective of people (in the case of many #FOSS projects: some of the world’s most skilled and talented programmers), who donate lots of their time and energy for a project they believe in, and hence lack the credibility and skills necessary for making them thrive in the long term.

Firefox’s ever falling market share proves that.

Here we have a problem, common to many non-profits:

I can only hope, nobody got any money for this.

“Bound” is one of my absolute favourite films.

@levzzz

I know, but these extensions are essential for circumventing censorship.

This is exactly, what I call “bowing to an autocracy”.

@Dirk

As a supporter for >15 years, it hurts me that @mozilla / @firefox bow to the Russian autocracy.

@tommi

They should use scissors instead of a knife, as a symbol for supporting Russian censorship.
