  • Hey all, so along with this post, today, I made a couple of communities geared towards starting and organizing a movement like the one in this post that has us working together to petition our government for redress on the anticompetitive behavior by the Google Chrome monopoly. I messaged Ruud and reached out to c/support because I have no idea what I’m doing and where or when it’s appropriate to advertise the community and I’m looking for guidance. So if it’s inappropriate here, mods of c/Technology, I apologize and please delete this comment.

    But here are the two communities I made: !movement@lemmy.world !organize@lemmy.world

    I want them to be a place where we can pull together like minded individuals of Lemmy and perhaps the Fediverse/ActivityPub together about a cause we care about and want to create a movement for. I figure c/movement will be were you can gather those folks c/organize is where you can have discussions and organize to take action. Perhaps there should be an associated matrix or discord channel for the second one.

    I’d like both communities to be community owned and community-led. So on big decisions and deciding the guidelines, I’d like the community to call the shots while mods would do the heavy lifting of enforcing those guidelines and organizing things to where the community’s voice can be heard (so for example, after having a discussion about guidelines, consolidating all of that into some sort of vote if there needed to be one on finally voting in the new guidelines). Anyways, rather than having a discussion about the communities here, let’s have them over on the c/support thread (https://lemmy.world/post/2061735) or the communities themselves.

    And the thing is we all have jobs, classes, family or something else entirely having claims to our attention and time, but we shouldn’t give up or give in. Let’s still figure out a way to persevere.









  • Yeah, I’m not the biggest fan of Mitchell Baker spinning out Rust and Servo and the decisions she’s made about Firefox funding. She oversaw a decline of browser share from 30% to 3% and still gave herself a raise. That said, with its containers extension and other extensions, it’s still easily the most privacy focused browser I’ve seen. I like Vivaldi as a Blink/Chromium back up. Only now do I think Safari’s kind of mimicking the containers sandboxing extension by creating profiles.

    I don’t do web development (yet), but have you tried Firefox Developer Edition ( I first downloaded it to try out the Rust Quantum speed up before it was available in mainline Firefox)? Is it any different than standard Firefox and if so is it any good?
