Betterbird: A Thunderbird Fork That Promises Better Features
Betterbird: A Thunderbird Fork That Promises Better Features
A better Thunderbird? Let's take a look!
You're viewing a single thread.
Looking at the linked-from-the-“due to differences”-link emails… jesus christ… so that’s what people mean by Mozilla prioritizing greedy money…
If you read the developer's background and reasons for the fork, it's actually a lot more....... cringe.
Pretty much, the guy lost his shit because Mozilla is woke / SJW / DEI and all the lovely buzz words used by certain people.
Got that vibe when he said he was ousted by weaponized cancel culture
Thanks for sharing this, looked into it myself and that's quite unfortunate.
Why does every piece of cool software end up having some reactionary midlife crisis behind them?
That would make sense. I'd like some links.
Ngl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say
The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising [...]
And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their "inclusivity" policy... we also don't know what was reported, only the reasons stated.
Not saying that it wasn't unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it's written in a way that raises some red flags.
Pretty bad when one side's perspective makes them look awful and the other side is the one accusing them of being awful 😬
I agree that I'd be very curious as to what the violations actually are, but...
- No specific instances of violations are referenced in the CPG emails
- There's no language in the CPG emails regarding prior warnings
- Suspension from the council is clearly out-of-process
Mozilla doesn't do loose coupling of UI and core, huh?
