    Why can’t they just use the Wikipedia model? That should bring in enough to cover development and operating costs.

          Rust was originally created by a Mozilla dev as a hobby project. Also, the Mozilla rust team was fired in 2020 during a “restructuring”.

                  People in charge of Mozilla are there to cock block Firefox. Similar with Signal

                  These are just my opinions though but I learned long time ago to look at what they do, not what they say. Thay will generally get me closer to the truth.

                  Corpos MO is to always lie, I think they call it “Public Relations”
