How to do what you want and pretend to listen your community - @mozillaofficial@mozillaofficial ’s edition

At the 26th of February Mozilla presented a few changes - Terms of Use for Firefox - as a done deal, asking for feedback only about the already decided move. Feedback came, and two days later February 28th, they decided to make cosmetic changes to “provide clarity”, changing nothing. At the same time, they were again open for a new round of post-fact comments, only this time they didn’t even bother to try to answer to any of those. Four pages later, and the flux of comments died down - there’s no argument to be had when the other side does not show any signs of listeinng. The last comment there (at this moment) is from the 16th of March.

Twenty days, it was all it took for us to absorb the shock, accept the bad news, consider it ‘old news’ now. Mozilla made the change they wanted anyway, and #Firefox users will just suffer the consequences.
