Fucking hell Mozilla. What became of you.
Who are the fools supporting this shit. If you want to support a better internet, Servo and Bonfire are two good examples of worthier causes.
I’m one of the few volunteer contributors to Bonfire, and I would never dream of recommending Mozilla to use it. You have to reach out to people where they are at, not pick the tools based on prime principles. American platforms are blackmailing us by gatekeeping access to audiences, but it’s not like you can pretend most humans are reachable on microscopic federated platforms. Which btw is not the intended use case for bonfire.
And of course it loads content from Google! :( Well, it tried, because I block all that stuff, but how sad anyway. There are very few “independent” sites out there these days, all of them depend on third-parties, sometimes for a valid reason, but many others not.
Won’t get fooled again?
Internet in 2005: “Don’t trust anything you read in the newspaper, watch on TV, or hear on the radio. The real truth is here.”
Internet in 2015: “You can now read the newspaper, watch TV, and listen to the radio on the Internet! The real truth is here.”
Internet in 2025: “AI gibberish”
Bolo bolo but it’s the internet.
I do not get what they trying to say here
Sounds great in theory, but I feel like the minute one of those places becomes a viable alternative it will be sold for a pile of cash.
A lot of these spaces are reading, writing and designing around so-called “anti-capture” protocols exactly to avoid that.
