By that logic, you're dragging down lemmy.ca. Though I don't really take that line of logic, cause I ain't a dick.

If everyone you look at is trash, either they are, or you are. You'd need some self-awareness and comprehension of the history of Lemmy (including the fact that Lemmy.ml was the main instance before the influx, and after, Lemmy.world had major reliability issues for a while). Many people ended up on ml and don't really suffer the red scares.
The amount of "I got banned off ml for saying x. Didn't realise it was as bad as Reddit which I also got banned off multiple times". I mean if folks are getting banned of a right wing cess pool and a left wing instance, is the issue the instances, or them.
I get the bad mods argument but tarring a whole community based on this isn't cool.
Don't get me wrong, .world has some really big ass hats and questionable moderation, but it doesn't mean all their users are bad.
The other one is dead. Up to you.
Almost as much as your mom does.
For many years AMD was uncompetitive compared to Intel / Nvidia. Intel had 80% of the market at one point. It probably would have died off if it wasn't for folk that wanted Linux compatibility. Many run FOSS because of privacy. Linux is a key part of that.
Oh gosh. Forgot all about that shit. No thanks.
Do AMD not realise that Linux/Privacy nerds stuck with them regardless for years. Would they have survived without that loyalty?
But they are forks and they rely on Firefox development. Using them is fine, but with Mozilla funding and keeping up with browser development, they'd be poor
Its a bit like Brave taking Chromium, changing a few lines and saying "we built a browser".
I'm assuming because they don't have those AI engineers. I don't agree with this or AI, but diversification isn't something that can be ignored.
They need to focus on browser and bet on things that could succeed in the future. Winding down those bets that failed (like 3d visual worlds) is sensible.
Of the 60 they are laying off, how many of those work on Firefox?
They can also use Yahoo or Bing as default for money.
The other option is diversify your revenue. Which is likely where the ad stuff comes in. If they can do that in a privacy respecting way with a facility to opt out, I have no objections. The loss of the biggest open source chromium alternative is massive and unthinkable.
For all the flaws of Mozilla, no one has forked, done better and put it out of business. It's easier to run it behind a keyboard with zero responsibility.

Oh, I thought they meant literally exploding?!
