Because they have no idea how to bring back the salad days of Firefox, so they do nonsense like this. The Brendan Eich debacle was their Waterloo.

- DonHopkins 3y agoYou mean when all the GamerGate trolls rallied behind Brendan Eich and made him their martyr, pretending he was fired instead of choosing to quit?

- DonHopkins 3y agoYou should follow your own advice, and not try to flamebait in bad faith by framing Brendan Eich as some kind of martyr or victim. Nobody ever tried to cancel HIS marriage, but he's the one who wanted to cancel and criminalize many other people's marriages. Attacking other people's human rights makes him the victimizer, not the victim. The GamerGate trolls with an axe to grind against LGBTQ+ people still regularly push that false narrative in bad faith here and elsewhere about Brendan Eich being fired and being a victim, which is bullshit. It happens often and predictably enough, and your implication is obvious enough, that it's worth debunking preemptively.
