@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org A for-profit corporation that absolutely loathes feedback from end users and community members, except when it's dripping with praise for their latest attempt to appease techbro capitalists, is cutting off an avenue for feedback on a platform largely populated by people who violently hate techbro capitalism. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
-
How did this even happen? Is Mozilla made up entirely of people who didn't get accepted by google?
-
-
Mozilla is less worse than Google et al, but let's be frank - we need a community-developed browser. Enough of this corporate bullshit.
-
From what I heard, Servo is working on one

Tired: posting a meme reaction
Wired: drawing a customized meme of your own
-
Another service on the chopping block
-
https://killedbygoogle.com Their list is still smaller than google's at least.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I left Mozilla after a decade of working at the Foundation because it was more than obvious that it had no idea wtf it was doing and they were no longer aligned with my moral compass. And they've just kept on reinforcing that over and over the last few years.
-
Maybe because people who cared left?
-
@Dindonmasker sorry, are you trying to blame individual contributor for the years long failing of the executive team? Because that's what it sounds like, and that'd be quite an amazingly short-sighted thing to say, so I hope that's not what you're saying.

I'd still fuck the fox.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Oh, I hadn't heard… I.. I just don't get how Mozilla keeps making these choices that burn community goodwill.
But your comic is a fun, lighthearted way to represent it. One day that fox of fire will have a good caretaker.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org They don't deserve something this cute
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org The web can't afford for Firefox to go away. I really hope someone figures out how to make Mozilla effective and sustainable.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Mozilla has become kind of a clown I will admit. But its not 100% evil like Google. Its close, but there's still some traces of goodness left. Or they would embrace webextensions v3 without caring.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
Ugh! Firefox just can't seem to catch a break with bad management decisions
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Another one for the Mozilla graveyard!
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org In the context of this: while many of the actions of @mozilla@mozilla.social feel annoying (i.e. axing FirefoxOS just before it became widespread in South America) and while it doesn’t look like that if you plot a market share which includes the massively growing number of mobile devices with a bundled browser:
Firefox has been mostly keeping its users since 2017.
-
2017 and 2021 it stayed mostly stable at 190 million users
Interesting that they almost managed to stop the decline for a few years there. In 2024 after the recent string of nonsensical decisions it's down to 158 million.
-
@kbal@fedia.io yes.
While they were widely criticized during that time, 2017 to 2022 were actually pretty stable years. And that despite constant uncertainty about the future (“will Google continue to pay?”) and failures to get other revenue sources (AFAIK).

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org it's a cute drawing tho! 🤩
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org You’d make a good politician cartoonist, but I wouldn’t want to wish that upon someone nice.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org #TrueStory 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
-
I'm feeling a bit lost. What happened?
-
@P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br You can follow the link in the ref and read comments: it's about a leadership decision of Mozilla to close their Mastodon instance. They do this while they invest a lot on AI.
In short, it's Mozilla governance that is going more and more full speed into a "capitalism tech bro" mindset, at the cost of a more and more visible departure of the Free/Libre software community. A decision that I qualify of them being clowns, now. And I parody the meme https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/putting-on-clown-makeup for that.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I think of a lot of other references related to Mozilla where this applies too! 😬
-
Wait I thought we liked Firefox
-
I do, but it's also a shame that mozilla.social is shutting down.
-
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org really great
-
Très beau, c'est cool de voir votre travail ici!
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Browsers based on Gecko Firefox and Chrome Blink
are compromised, ecause both companies updating the main build are either becoming, or are ad companies.
Switching to browser based on Webkit is a good idea for long term privacy.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I like the new CEO
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I am quite sure your intentions are not as bad as it seems, but something feels really wrong with that post. #diversity
-
@Lioh@social.anoxinon.de I feel sorry in advance if another meaning than "Mozilla leadership once again are making clown things" can be interpreted from this drawing.
If it is hurting a community. That's not my intention at all with this comic.
Also, if it has something to do with the makeup symbols or the colors of the hair, it is just inspired/inherited from the original meme (src: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/putting-on-clown-makeup ).
Thank you for pointing it, I hope my answer will participate to disambiguate anything wrong.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org thanks for pointing that out. I did not see the reference and I also did not know the original meme until know (which I think is already quite offensive in itself). I think posts like this are a hit in the face of the queer community and I just don't like them.

-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org t'es génial.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
soo true
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org oof. But, well deserved
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org man their new leadership is really fucking everything up
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org you need to add the slide where their leaderships changes every year or so
-
@davidrevoy Tiens, je viens de te voir repartager cette image, et ça me fait penser : est-ce qu'elle ne pourrait pas avoir sa place dans framamèmes ? Il me semble qu'elle irait plutôt bien à côté des images de @gee, non ?
-
@elzen @gee Oh peut-être pas, elle est trop centré sur Firefox comparé au meme originel. Et puis j'aime bien l'unité qu'a Framameme avec que les dessin de Gee pour le moment. Je voudrai pas casser cette unité. Mais par contre, je suis curieux du code de Framameme, pour voir si il y aurait moyen de l'utiliser pour redialoguer ou faire de la trad de BD courte comme les miniFantasyTheatre. C'est canon comme petit logiciel en ligne tout ça.
-
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @elzen@fadrienn.irlnc.org le code source est là 🙂
