@firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social @hermannus@stegodon.nl hi - understand your logic here, and I get the impulse to try to reach as many people as possible, especially from a comms/marketing perspective. I also really appreciate the fact that whoever's on the other end of this account is talking through it like a human being! I think it's fair to challenge though the idea of "simply to reach more users", because that implies that there are no lines that Mozilla wouldn't cross to achieve that; can we expect to see an official Firefox account on Truth Social, or Parler, or Gab? I'd assume (and hope!) not, but those would also reach users - though clearly with diminishing rewards, but if they were to reach a critical mass, would that line be crossed? What Mozilla has essentially done is made a decision that the harms done by Mozilla's patronage of a platform that is credibly accused of systematic racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, misinformation, and proliferation of CSAM are outweighed by the users it reaches through it. That's not a neutral decision; it sends a message that those users are more strategically important to Mozilla than those impacted by the real-world harms on X. I hope you can understand why so many are saddened and upset to see it happen, and I hope there is internal pushback on this too.
