You mean the thing they just shut down?

The images might be missing because of other people moving their accounts. I’m still seeing images, though.

Not sure if that’s a joke but you replied to a comment from lemm.ee, and I’m replying to you from it.

That doesn’t explain the hostility. Nothing Mozilla has done recently warrants anywhere near as much aggression and rage baiting as these people have been doing.

There’s a bizarre and extremely hostile subset of users who seem to have some kind of vendetta against Mozilla and Firefox. They’re not above criticism, obviously, but these people inflate literally everything with unnecessary hostility.

Yeah, agreed. The more consolidated a thing becomes, the more entrenched it becomes. When alternatives, exit ramps, and escape routes are needed, they won’t exist or require too much effort to take.

A lesson everyone should have learned 2 years ago.

The latter. It’s basically emerging as the alternative to Lemmy, but it federates with Lemmy instances. You don’t necessarily need to join a piefed instance for this feature when many Lemmy apps will do it, but there’s a lot of movement to piefed for other reasons.

Teixeira worked for nearly 14 years at Microsoft in areas including developer tools and technologies, before serving as Facebook’s director of program management and design, and Twitter’s vice president of product.

According to the suit, Teixeira joined Mozilla in August 2022 with the understanding that he would ultimately be positioned to succeed Baker as Mozilla CEO.

[…]

Teixeira, 52, was diagnosed in October 2023 with ocular melanoma, a rare but treatable form of cancer. He took an approved 90-day medical leave through early February under the Family Medical Leave Act, the suit says.

Shortly before Teixeira returned, in early February, Baker stepped down as CEO, returning to the role of executive chairman. Chambers, a Mozilla board member, was named to serve as CEO for the remainder of the year.

So he’s basically fine, he just missed his chance to become CEO.
