Maybe stop posting about Bug Bounty Winners

I recently went to the Bug Bounty and noticed a disturbing trend, Mozilla likes to publish how bad their coders are by posting the plethora of names of those who have fixed their mistakes. That is not really something I would be proud of and honestly makes me start to think about finding a new browser...  Sort of like Coke and New Coke someone should lose their job.

Mozillaのバグバウンティについての意見、確かに気になりますね。プログラマーの名前を公開するのは、あまり良い印象を与えません。新しいブラウザを探すのも一つの手かもしれません。もし他の意見を聞きたいなら、ぜひ 悪口診断 を試してみてください!

Firefox is open source. This is a good thing. Mozilla accepting contributions from the community (and crediting them) is very much a strength, not a weakness. Your reductive assessment is childish and reflects a complete lack of understanding of software development.

Honestly, I'm with you on this. The bug bounty winner posts are starting to feel like spam, and they push down the threads where people actually need help. I noticed even this discussion only <a href="https://hopearth.run/
">got two replies</a>, which says a lot about how the community feels. Maybe a separate category would be better than flooding the main feed.

I see <a href="https://hopearth.run/">both sides</a> here. As a Firefox user, I actually like seeing the names of people who find bugs—it makes the project feel more community-driven. But I also get the frustration about the main feed getting cluttered. The thread about this only got a couple of replies, which does make you wonder if there's a better way to organize those announcements. Maybe a dedicated category would keep things clean without losing the recognition.
