don't take my word for it

#Mozilla is losing their mind. They're now promoting themselves with #AI-generated red panda videos, and doubling down on AI apologetics:

"AI isn’t just another tech trend — it’s at the heart of most apps, tools and technology we use today."

#Firefox is in dire straits. It needs to be rescued from Mozilla.

#Reddit's #Privacy moderators also censored a New York Times tech journalist's post for "promoting a blog".

The #journalist had written out a lengthy post **exclusively for people on Reddit** and was actively engaging with users and answering their questions before moderators shut it down.

The #Reddit #Privacy community moderators still censor posts that are inconvenient to the American surveillance apparatus.

This one's title:
"The #Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system"

Reason for removal is allegedly "FUD" and "slander" and "conspiracy theories."

@avery okay they also shut down Deepfake Detector - which is Fakespot adjacent but also has its own extension

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/deep-fake-detector/

And that's all - for real, this time

Since this post is still making the rounds, I'd like to warn anyone invested in the #privacy community on #Reddit will still see the kind of censorship detailed here.

Over the past 24 hours, "somebody" has censored an Atlantic article criticizing the American #surveillance apparatus, calling it "FUD" and "character assassination," and accusing the original posters of being "shills."

One of the #Fosstodon moderators, Carrotcypher, has a history of hostility and intolerance towards minorities that does not align with Fosstodon's stated values.

Here is the moderator defending the #deportation of #MahmoudKhalil

Here's the moderator endorsing a law that unclosets #transgender children

Here's the moderator censoring discussion of surveillance of #LGBT people in a #privacy community

"#Firefox update added more sponsored content on new-tab page

This is the 5th time #Mozilla opted [us] into something like this w/o asking - existing about:config changes didn't apply; they add new ones (15 results for 'sponsor')

Slowly driving their only successful product to zero"

Signal needs a dedicated web app or at least "linked device" support on #Android. The fact the only "linked device" support is on the #iPad or desktop is frustrating.
