I'm not sure you've actually "engaged" in any meaningful sense of the word. Certainly you've been conversing but it's not as though there's been concrete answers to questions. Upthread you've mostly avoided actually answering points and even here feigning confusion. Or, if it's not feigning, it paints a bleak picture of how prepared you are to interact with the Firefox userbase about this topic.

The overwhelming response to this feature was:

1. Don't do it.
2. If you have to do it, keep it off by default.
3. If it can't be off by default make it an extension or put it in another build.
4. Dear god why won't you people listen?

Engagement would look like you're acting upon those concerns, or answering the direct questions you were presented with.
It doesn't look like picking sidequest arguments and deflecting from the actual poignant questions that were posed to you -- that's damage control, not engagement.

Specifically this:

"hey, you know that place that has a strong representation of people who don't like AI? They don't like AI." did not seem like a good use of my time.

When the original LLM chat sidebar feature was being added as automatically-enabled, the issues opened on Mozilla's own bugtracker garnered the largest number of negative replies and comments I've ever seen for anything Mozilla's done.

Attempting to play this off as a mastodon thing is ridiculous and absurd. It ignores all the active and passionate users who promote the browser to people, who make corporate policy such that Firefox has to be installed alongside Chrome, etc.

Is that place Mozilla's own bugtracker? This mess started their awhile back.
