I haven’t really followed the leadership at all, nor have I always agreed with the anti-Mozilla stuff I see annoyingly often on Lemmy. So to be clear, I wasn’t agreeing with the linked post, just giving my interpretation of their intended meaning.
I appreciate the added context you gave. I don’t think I’ll ever understand how a website full of so many people who love free software can be one of the most anti-Firefox places I’ve encountered on the internet. It often feels disingenuous or astroturfed.
I think people feel entitled to free stuff with no hooks at all. So when Moz tries to generate revenue within a capitalist society, they are worse than normal companies. Like they are breaking a promise to always be free and great. (Which they never made, their manifesto talks about making the internet accessible and equal for everyone)
