Hi, I think the last few years showed that what once may have been a reasonable point of view (i.e. trying to be a voice of dissent) is not possible on a site that actively prevents their users from seeing those dissenting views. > When will it be time to remove the FSFE page? Or is it the FSFE

I think you have misunderstood sir. It's a usage of Facebook to have it do a job of spreading a message that you can get it to do without it managing to get anything from the broadcaster that it demands but the broadcaster holds fast on. Could be not running non free JS, if that's the main concern

Thank you for your thoughtful replay, Florian :) I agree with your assessment of Mozilla's motives. Under the premises you described, I guess personally I'm fine with FSFE keeping the profile.

Hi Jonke, I can't help but feel this is a PR stunt from Mozilla. Facebook recently had a privacy scandal, but Facebook is the same it has always been. Asking them to reform their business is pointless because they make money tracking users, so they can't stop tracking them. Also, at the end of

My counter argument to the only 'place to find everyone' is to join Diaspora etc anyway,  tell  people know, you are on there,  it lessens the argument   small steps,   that is all it generally takes.   Once you are on these other networks people have a reason to join,  and hopefully eventually mov

The problem with Facebook is that it's the worst bar in town and the bouncers are horrible, but it's also the only one where you can find everyone. So the question is its tactical usefulness for outreach versus its awfulness. On 23 March 2018 at 09:20, Jonke Suhr wrote: > Hey all, > > irregardle
