11 days agoI wonder, how increasing CEO pay year by year worked out for them.
Certainly, definitely not in growing the user base, but also not in revenue that would make up it.

I like and care about:
Science, Math, IT, FOSS, parenting, fun, politics, books, 🏳️⚧️ things, music, film, cooking & food, some naughty stuff & much more.
What I most enjoy, is interaction with friendly people.
No DM please, unless we already know each other, or you have something important to tell!

Wasn’t by far my only point.
However: Making a commitment and then pulling back, is a statement.
Exactly! Mozilla wants people to know, they don’t give a shit.
A few years of party for executives are still possible, and just before Firefox and Thunderbird go into oblivion, quickly into a new management position at an ai company (or whatever may be the hype, then).
Mark my words!
Running a simple Mastodon server is not a big thing.
Setting up a resilient big instance, like Vivaldi does, requires commitment.
I am definitely starting to hate #Mozilla.
As a remark: I have always been fine with their deal with Pocket and having Google as their default search engine. In the end, there are bills to be paid.
Until I learned that e.g. Mozilla Corporation’s CEO is on a multi-million dollar salary, and they’re hiring ai and ad people.
Not OK for an entity where many highly skilled people code for free.
It’s not what users want the cash to be spent on.

Same!
But isn’t it a bit sad, we’ve all become so paranoic whilst at the same time being total oblivious to sharing lots of data, just because we want to know what the kitten did to the alligator?
Yes, It was easier to do truly representative polls, when people loved answering questions and everybody had a landline.
This is way a too revolutionary idea.
Of course, it’s not official.
I made this poll, as just a normal Fedi user.
It got more attention than I had anticipated, though.
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.

I know, but these extensions are essential for circumventing censorship.
This is exactly, what I call “bowing to an autocracy”.

Thank you for thinking of that!
