Everything is a social movement these days. TV Shows, movies, games, apps, social media, news, ads. Can't even get a cup of coffee without getting some social uplifting messaging shoved down my throat.
Why do people get so worked up about messaging that isn't targeted at them? Mozilla is trying to gain broad appeal beyond mom's basement. There's a certain group of people that this message resonates with.
Clearly not, based on browser trends over time. The real problem is that they aren't even able to keep the low hanging fruit (i.e. "Mom's basement" dwellers), let alone whoever this other audience is.
but that was the plan... part of the great shift from freedom in software, to open source code.
"is mozilla about open software? or was it about that old RMS (yuck) what was it? looked like a joke... gnu is not gnu?? wut"

just trying to vent some frustration...
edit: I actually believe that software should guarantee freedom, but I've understood that gnu's play failed, copyright is not the side of freedom of individuals, but on the side of freedom for corporations-as-individuals. my own ignorant opinion (because I'm just guessing) is taboo https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33248402
