If folks are still this confused about the new changes, maybe Mozilla is still doing something wrong with their communication.

Nah. Those of us who tried explaning legalese here the last few days have been heavily downvoted.

Maybe sometimes people really just need to chill and accept that their gut feelings aren't facts.

You should not need legal people explaining the change of mission statements or FAQs... Imo Mozilla just really sucks at PR (it not just this time)

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml -2 points 5 days ago

Well, it's not exactly made easy when folks wade through the commit history and drag something out into the public before it's properly announced. I certainly do not want Mozilla to move development behind closed doors, just so their PR looks better.

If by explaining you mean hand waving and saying it's fine because it's in legal jargon instead of plain English then sure, you did a great job of explaining 👍

... yeah, maybe that's not the only post I made on the subject?

Welcome to Lemmy, where not being outraged by every single thing is against the rules!

(you should also listen to the people with knowledge, which are the legal people in this instance)

I’m still confused about why a tool would need a tos when it has freedom zero.

Otherwise great lies from them.
