Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I use Firefox, but the #1 complaint that's made me stop evangelizing it to random people is the endless, endless complaints that it's slow.

Part of the problem is that Chrome is so widespread that it's seen as the default, and thus anything that deviates from that is quickly blamed for any problems.

I heard someone tell an anecdote recently about why their daughter always ordered Domino's pizza for her friends. She said that if Domino's pizza is bad, her friends blame Domino's, whereas if pizza from elsewhere is bad, they blame her.
