I have no idea if it is censorship but the amount of jerks throwing shit at you for saying {insert critical question} is insane. I‘m not talking about „did you know mozilla sells kid slaves?“ idiocy but things like „I don’t like that google is the main financial contributor“ stuff.
A few days back someone posted this article on the firefox subreddit. It is a well written article with good points, but the hivemind ignored the content of the article and resorted to ad hominems and name calling because the author is a supposed right winger. It would not be surprising if the post was removed by now.
Ah yes. Lunduke, a totally reputable person who always knows what he's talking about.
You're just proving my point. I haven't seen anyone point out anything wrong or misleading from that article. Only name calling and ad hominems. I do not care about the author. Why can't you just focus on the contents of the article?
All he did was repeat shit that we've known for years in the most sensationalist way possible so he could get a fucking profit of a clickbait article.
He's a "journalist", wtf do you expect. This is his entire deal; repeat already well known shit, sprinkle in some sensational nonsense, do zero due diligence as a journalist and use the most clickbait title possible for profit.
I'm sorry, but his shit always reads like an AI wrote more than half of it, and when he won't even ask the people involved like he's supposed to as a journalist, he's bringing nothing new whatsoever, only speculation and sensationalism.
That's all there is to it.

I have posted this exact article there some months ago I believe. Or at least one just like it.
I totally get your point. Instead of just saying „this is false for x reason“ they go after the people who post this.
I really hate that.
