Redditor is a state of mind. You don’t necessarily have to use the site to be one.
“Everyone who disagrees me is a piece of shit and is siding with tyrants, no I’m not going to actually read their arguments beyond the title.”
No it isn’t. We’re not trying to be like Reddit. Because if we were, why not just use Reddit? There’s no reason to make an alternative to something if it’s going to be the exact same.
It’s Chinese, so not Anime. It’s a Donghua (动画), which literally means “motion drawing” (note, not motion picture, because the Chinese word “hua” 画 means a drawn or painted image only, not photos).
Yes, I’m about to get as pretentious about Chinese animation as weebs are about Japanese animation.
I mean, if they halted operations, presumably permanently as they seem to imply, it shouldn’t matter right? Since they intend to ditch all their assets and exit the market anyway, right?
Unless this whole thing was a marketing ploy for Western audiences and they plan to start right back up once people stop paying attention. Hmm…
But… But… Daddy Sam told me that America doesn’t censor! That’s a commie thing!
Truthfully, people only put up with pocket because Google is worse. It does have a silver lining in that it shows Mozilla’s true colours which we should never forget or let them forget. They’re still Western libtrash bordering on fascism, but ✨open source✨. Even ignoring their political stance, the even worse thing about them is the fact that they are a for-profit corporation posing as a nonprofit. They treat their developers like shit just like Google, have an internal attitude of management knowing better about the direction of their software than the people writing them just like Google (their devs have repeatedly spoken out against Mozilla’s direction to no avail), their management still hoards the organization’s capital and there is a massive wage disparity between the CEO and board and the workers just like Google, they barely pay their workers while management makes millions not including bonuses just like Google, and their position in open source allows them to leech off the free work of community contributions not to mention direct donations from people who don’t know any better. Mozilla is bourgeoisie trying its absolute damnedest to convince you they’re not. They are not leftist in any capacity, a lot of the developers and other proletarians who work for them are I’m sure, but certainly not the organization. Pray for the day when we have a truly leftist and libre software group and Mozilla dies along with Google.
