    I support Firefox doing whatever Firefox needs to do to keep doing what they do…

    I won’t fucking touch it, but I need them to continue to exist so I can use forks of it like waterfox and librewolf

    “we’re here as and independent voice”.

    Yeah, sure. Tell Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Israel to fuck off, just to test your independence.

        Why even bother using the word if you’re going to self censor?

        They even gave you a perfectly good alternative and you corrected it with a self censored word. Do you like how tight your leash feels?

            Seriously, examine the why’s of the things you do. If you don’t like cursing, don’t curse. Use different words. Censoring on the behalf of corporate interests immediately makes you the enemy of anyone with half a brain.

              I”ll choose my own words. If anyone read it, sounding it out in the reader’s inner voice would provide the intended understanding of what was being communicated. We ain’t writing code here. Ens—tification, enshitification. I understand it either way.

                I”ll choose my own words.

                But you don’t, clearly, because you’d rather opt for a word chosen for you by your corporate owners. In fact, you tried to correct someone choosing to use a different word than enshitification with your self censored version.

                Some people hate being put in a cage, others cheer - you seem like the latter.

                  You’re really falling for this. I’m happy to be occupying so much of your mind that you feel compelled to respond to every retort. I’m pretty sure you could hide your own Easter eggs. Good luck with everything.

    Unsure why people are so pissy.

    If you want hearts and minds for a cause, do you go to the people who already agree or do you go to where the others are?

    How do you expect them to spread the word of their product(s) if they are not where the “normies” are?

      This has nothing to do with any of that. twitter is a fascist run fascist social media. You don’t go there because you don’t go hang out with fascists.

        twitter is a fascist run fascist social media.

        Lmfao you guys are something else, I can see why this platform never surpassed ol’ Leddit just like BlueCry never surpassed ol’ Tweeter

        It’s strange how there seemed to be no issues with you all for years back when Tw@tter was heavy left-wing with censorship of the opposing side, but now that it’s centrist and the left talking points can be immediately community noted with the actual reality, you all run for the hills to here and Bluey instantly since lies can no longer be used to successfully win an argument with people there anymore XD (probably why you’d perceive it to be right-wing now since you all tucked your tails and left, strange how the opposing side used to just silently put up with literal censorship of their own points eh which isn’t even being done to you guys, almost like it’s one of the biggest platforms in the world so they stuck around through tougher times regardless)

        Also seen another guy within this entire comment meltdown storm equating Firefox returning to X as them supporting Hitler HAHA, all over them re-using one of the most popular social media platforms in the world as a massive corporation (can’t imagine why they’d do that), get a grip sonny it’s not that deep you are outraged over a nothingburger to end all nothingburgers

          Thinking X is centrist because it hosts extremist right views is precisely the problem with US politics.

          Sorry the censorship got you and now you’re salty. I can see why, though.

            FYI I don’t live in the US

            Sorry the censorship got you and now you’re salty.

            Bro is unironically trying to defend censorship XD can’t imagine why! Strange how one side seems to excel without it whereas one other side instantly crumbles eh

            X won’t censor your views (literally neither side’s - do explain to me how this isn’t centrist), go ahead and type exactly what you type here and it’ll all show up; the only problem is due to the opposing side also not being censored people will clown on you for the nonsense you spout nowadays, so you’d rather scurry away to isolated areas that continue to censor the opposition so you can all falsely appear to flourish (BlueCry is quite literally old Twitter which used to do precisely this lmao why do you think they all fled to it, “erm acktually sir you can’t say this particular fact that dismantles that guy’s argument because your fact falls under our abusable hate speech rule, so your content is hidden now sir please understand!”), as it’s impossible otherwise ofc

            If you believe censorship of any political side is a good thing I dunno what to tell you mate, speaks volumes on your confidence, no amount of virtual down arrows beside my post of fellows melting down over my text in the shadows will change that fact I’m afraid

                Yeah he and all those who agree with him are Hitler 2.0 for sure, that word totally has meaning nowadays when you guys all throw it around over nothing right

                Be sure to let me know when he’s killed 17 million people which will surely include yourself from disagreeing with him (aka what a real Nazi would do to you), I’m sure it’ll happen in reality and not only in the fantasy in your mind!

              If there’s a table with 10 people sitting at it, but only one is visibly a Nazi, how many Nazis are at the table?

              10

                Well there appears to be a sea of visible clowns here with me a normal guy being in the mix so does that make me a clown too? It seems I am still not agreeing with you… so I guess that’s not how it works after all lmao

                You cannot genuinely be serious in thinking every regular person on X is an actual Nazi though right, like at this point please tell me you’re doing this for show and aren’t actually this lost from spending too much time online in these bubbles

                An underpaid kid made that smartphone you own so does that mean you are a supporter of child labor? Let me know what you think of this banger logic, I’m sure there’s at least 1 nasty animal abuse video up on YouTube right now from a visible scumbag that’s slipped through the cracks so I guess everyone with a channel participating on that website is ‘invisibly’ an animal abuser too, this is such a good thought process it’s really strange nobody I’ve ever met before behaves like this but surely it’ll catch on soon though trusttt

        You’ve never ran a online based business. You absolutely use any platform regardless if you agree with their views or not. Bringing personal politics into is such a fucking stupid thing for a company to do.

      The thing that pisses me off is the fact that they demonstratively did move away from Twitter, acknowledging its usage as problematic, but now have changed their mind and provided a dumb non-explanation. Either way they’ve taken a dump on their own decision-making.
