oh noes! I've been blocked by the point-evading poster that runs @firefoxwebdevs!

after trying (rather gently) to try highlight to them that their continued evasion irks a lot of fedi users (many of whom are keenly aware of the patterns of abuse), they went "...who? me?!"

then I posted "hmm, your sudden silence (while posting elsewhere) kinda speaks loudly"

they *huffily* replied

3 toots later I'm blocked!

oh woe is me, whatsoever shall I do

the thread's up in public, feel free to check

@froztbyte @firefoxwebdevs I guess Jake is having some trouble coping with the fact that his job is to be a mouthpiece for the people ruining society.

@davidgerard @theorangetheme @froztbyte @firefoxwebdevs What gets me is how the AI bubble is looking ready to pop, the stocks are taking a bath and deals are starting to unwind, but #AI is the hill #Mozilla is going to die on.

At least they are consistent in their ability to be on the trailing edge of whatever the latest hype may be.

@reflex @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs as I've said once a while ago: moz has a loooong pattern of holding on to a bad idea a good long while past its sell-by date

all their good ideas they kill off early

all their bad ideas they cling to like a cursed blahaj

it's not great, but

@froztbyte @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs The sad part is that we are literally the people most determined to see them succeed, and yet this is how they behave every damn time.

@froztbyte @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs Given the amount of executive turnover the past several years the problems at Mozilla appear to be massively entrenched in their culture, it may not be redeemable and I hate that we have to hang on the thread of Servo hopefully being all it can be without getting corrupted in the meantime.

@reflex @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs yeah. the moz leadership problem has been stewing about 7~9yy (min, possibly longer), and is a symptom of wider capture etc. but .... it fucking sucks

we're in for a kinda rough time soon, I suspect. enough people dislike all this bullshit that I think we'll come out okay, but .... still a rough time

@froztbyte @davidgerard @theorangetheme @firefoxwebdevs I mean AP has it's own issues, I'm just amused at the idea of taking everything away from the gatekeepers. AP isn't likely the right way to do that however.
