This fucking Free Our Feeds bullshit is basically trying to do for Bluesky what Mozilla does for Google.
And guess what, there’s Mozilla’s executive director and president on as custodians alongside two guys from AI companies and the executive director of Meta partner Social Web Foundation.
I’m so bloody sick and tired of bloody Silicon Valley asshats sucking all the oxygen out of the room with their bullshit and I truly hope the folks roped into legitimising it realise this and distance themselves as quickly as possible (you know who you are).
@aral I have zero knowledge of tech, just a layman trying to understand what tech is not involved with the endless data extraction and with fascist business oligarchs. I’d like to understand what is problematic with Mozilla, I’d appreciate any hint link or explanation 
@Gmov They exist thanks to roughly half a billion dollars a year from Google. They’re not what they say they are. As their head of public policy at the time once told me while asking me to go easy on them “I don’t understand why you’re holding us to such a higher standard, we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.” Not what you tell everyone else, though, is it, Mozilla?
@aral Many thanks for your response! But, does that relation regarding being google the default searcher involves more than that? Does it somehow compromise the privacy of users? (beyond the searcher one uses).
@Gmov Think of it this way: what would you think if Greenpeace needed half a billion dollars a year to exist and it got it from ExxonMobil?
@aral indeed, I was just wondering if you knew something specific, in technical terms of software, that had come up at some point. Are Brave and or Librewolf a good substitute?
