I'm sure you can still go on without the extra services, and you can still donate if you want to.

I see no reason for Thunderbird to be enshitified.

Thunderbird is also not Mozilla anymore.

I agree fully but Thunderbird is operated by MZLA Technologies Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, so while Thunderbird is part of the broader Mozilla family, it operates independently and is managed as its own entity.

They left Mozilla at some point but later joined again.

And?

And they are still technically somewhat Mozilla indeed (but note this commenter wrote they fully agree with my comment)

Ok? And being Mozilla is a problem why? And what is the alternative and why?

Where did I imply it's a problem? I merely corrected the answer above me which claimed they are "NOT Mozilla anymore".

Please reread carefully. There's actually no disagreement here. You are being too confrontational. I understand why you could be, but you can relax here.

Your reply is dead. None of us two are doing what you say. I'm not hating anybody or anything here, and stating it even less.

There must be some big misunderstanding here.

The other commenter only corrected something I wrote that was technically wrong and I read their comment as quite neutral. And my initial comment was an answer to what actually felt undeserved and misplaced hate. I was pushing back hate.
