@Natanox @DrGoldfire you’re not even using enshittification properly in this context lol. mozilla has existed for like 2 decades, they’re not in need of AI to make money, they haven’t done literally anything to their flagship product with AI, and they don’t have any obligation to shareholders to start making money.

throwing the word enshittification around when it doesn’t fit just makes it meaningless when it should actually be used, like with reddit. hope this helps 🥰

@lolrepeatlol I worked at Mozilla for the better part of a decade, but please, continue to explain to me how Mozilla works.

@DrGoldfire i’m aware you have worked there for a long time & appreciate ur input. i know you reposted this but i wasn’t intending to reply to you, i meant for it to go to the original poster — my apologies if it did go to you instead. that being said i still fully believe this post is pretty ridiculous, it doesn’t match the intended usage of the word at all & the criticism doesn’t even make sense.

@lolrepeatlol I mean, I obviously reposted it for a reason. There are also good reasons why I left Mozilla. The two are not unrelated. Please accept that my conception of what is going on there might possibly be more correct than whatever picture you've built in your head.

@DrGoldfire right & i fully get that. mozilla is certainly not without its problems especially amidst a lack of vision, half-assed and killed products, and the new interim ceo. i’m not saying they’re faultless, i’m just pointing out that claiming this is an example of enshittification doesn’t check out in this context. if you disagree, then that’s fine, we can agree to disagree.
