Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I realize Pocket was intended as a way to generate revenue to keep the browser going; but, it always seemed like a feature in search of a purpose. Ok ya, I could save a page/article/etc. And then what? If I wanted to be able to find something again, I could bookmark it. If that bookmark ever died, I'd pull it up on archive.org. I guess it was like bookmark syncing on steroids, but meh.
I never even knew Fakespot existed, so I can't comment there. Though, maybe that lack of awareness demonstrates a failure to get the feature well advertised. Though again, maybe that's my fault as I aggressively avoid advertisements.
I feel sorry for the folks who worked on these products, whose work will mostly go in the dustbin of history. But, I also won't mind having to dig that pocket icon off my toolbar on every new install.
