Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

From what I’m seeing, much of this matches up with Mozilla’s political views and none of it is a surprise. Sounds like a “monster of the week” right wing piece.

In that guy's mind the boogeymen are thinks like diversity and (I guess not surprisingly nowadays) "vaccine acceptance". Like, with normal people maybe it would be useful to know if some nonprofit had ties to Nazi/white supremacist orgs or people, but in the modern RW mind having ties to science or diversity advocacy orgs is the same thing from their perspective.
