Howdy friends, Gunner here, I normally lurk on this list, and I appreciate all the thoughtful threads that happen here.
As someone who always uses the text only option for emails when available, for security, privacy and efficiency reasons, I'm concerned how you are conflating "inactive subscribers" with text-only subscribers. I am an active participant in many Mozilla endeavors, I just don't want my clicks tracked. I don't consider myself or others like me "inactives". "No feedback loop available" is a feature not a bug to many including myself. I think it will be seen as another slap in the face to an already-frustrated community to ratchet up email-based tracking. These "paper cut" changes keep hurting the org's images in the global circles I travel, non-Mozilla folks I respect and listen to are generally disgusted with what they perceive as Mozilla's creeping mediocrity on user privacy. Put differently, Mozilla just ran a campaign about effectively being the browser that doesn't spy on you, and now we're doing just that with email? peace, gunner On 09/20/2017 05:08 PM, Michele Warther via governance wrote: > Hi all, > > We are planning to update our email communications, which are referred in the > privacy notice for websites and communications [1] and remove the text only > email option. > > Removing inactive subscribers is a critical part of email engagement and > there is no feedback loop available for text only email communications.
