If he left out "fuck you and fuck this," the rest of the tweet is still incendiary enough to send the message without the edginess. Might have come across better that way.
Regardless, it's sad to watch Mozilla debase themselves, not only by supporting crypto at this stage of the game, but with cringeworthy meme language like "HODL." That was funny for about a week during the Gamestop fiasco; a year later it's another "how do you do, fellow kids" moment.
- rchaud 5y agoYou have to meet the customer where they are. Dogecoin IS a meme and has/had a multi-billion dollar cap. Can't blame Mozilla for openly scraping the bottom of the barrel with their marketing.
- salt-thrower 5y ago> Can't blame Mozilla for openly scraping the bottom of the barrel with their marketing. Yes I can. It makes them look cheap and corny, and weakens their credibility. > Dogecoin IS a meme and has/had a multi-billion dollar cap Sure, for about a month, a year ago. It's old news. Anyone still "HODLing" Doge is just a speculator who missed the last wave and is desperately hoping it'll come back so they can sell out. Point is, Mozilla is wasting their time by marketing to that crowd. Scraping the bottom of the barrel is a bad look.

- salt-thrower 5y agoThey aren't beggars. They're a well-respected software foundation. Being a nonprofit doesn't mean you're forced to beg for money from every source imaginable. If this move was done out of desperation, then they're dead in the water as an organization. More likely, some tone-deaf middle management team thought it would be a good "trendy" outreach initiative.
