- techntoke 8y agoRemember that time Mozilla CEO donated to Prop 8?
- dang 8y agoThis breaks the site guidelines, which ask you not to introduce flamebait into threads. It leads to flamewars, and we don't want those here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- techntoke 8y agoSo funny that you had no interest in enforcing this rule in regards to the posts about Chrome/Chromium yesterday. Also, the topic is relevant to the comment/topic and organization being discussed. Why ignore it when your Mozilla sponsors can say whatever about Google and Chrome, even if they are obvious lies? At least what I said is documented and true.
- dang 8y agoI know it inevitably feels like bias to get moderated like that. But if you see a glaring case where the rules weren't enforced, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. HN gets over 7000 comments a day. We can't read them all. You are welcome to alert us to such cases, by flagging them (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html for how to flag comments), or by emailing hn@ycombinator.com about egregious ones. We don't have Mozilla sponsors or any other sponsors, nor care which $BigOrg is up or down on the internet wheel of fortune this week. The waves make these things happen. We're just bobbing in the waves like everyone else, trying to keep the peace here and never succeeding completely.

- m3Lith 8y agoInteresting, from my experience the average, not so tech savvy user, calls/knows the browser as Mozilla, not Firefox.
