Mozilla should have a Mozilla club. Today, you can go to https://donate.mozilla.org/ https://donate.mozilla.org/ and you can donate monthly, but you get nothing for it except the warm glow of helping Mozilla.
Instead, Mozilla should have a private Discord for dues-paying club members, where participants have direct access to Mozilla decision makers, who should show up on a regular basis and do AMAs.
Furthermore, the Mozilla club should nominate a user ombuds who can sit in on Mozilla's board meetings.
Throughout this thread, I see folks criticizing Mozilla for not writing code / fixing bugs they care about, without providing a constructive way for Mozilla to fund their favorite initiatives. I think a Mozilla club could cut some of these tricky knots.
- Nextgrid 6y agoDonating to Mozilla goes to the foundation, not the company. This funds various initiatives that you may find useful or not but does not go directly to the browser. As far as I know there is no actual way to pay/donate and have that money allocated to the browser only. On the other hand, I disagree with your proposal. When I pay for software, content or a service I pay because I want the service/content, not because I want to join some kind of social club or receiving useless merch cluttering my wardrobe.
