I'm sure they do as Mozilla is an ad company
This is apparently either not widely known or some people just like to shoot the messenger.
While you are not wrong your dislike of Mozilla is has more to do with your instance being anti west. I'm not sure I'm ready to side with lemmyml
I happen to know jwz personally, and he knows Mozilla intimately: he founded it. His dislike of Mozilla is pretty much the same as mine, and he is neither “anti west” nor anti liberal. We dislike Mozilla because it has lost its way from being a FOSS browser maintainer and a booster for & steward of an open web.
And I’m not “anti-West,” I’m anti-capitalist, anti-settler-colonialist, and anti-imperialist; and those happen to be things that “the West” presently embodies.
"Your instance is anti-West" means that it endorses everything you listed as bad, as long as it's from a nation that has enough red in its flag.
There's no time like the present to switch instances.
I’m pretty sure I know what the instance I admin does & doesn’t endorse, thanks.
Oh, so it was just empty virtue signaling and hypocrisy? You're welcome.
