Matrix is an open, lightweight protocol for decentralized, real-time communication, and Mozilla's preferred open discussion platform.

Community Participation at Mozilla

The heart of Mozilla is people. We put people first and do our best to recognize, appreciate and respect the diversity of our global contributors. The Mozilla Project welcomes the participation of everyone who shares our goals and wants to contribute in a healthy and constructive manner within our communities. To that end, as with all Mozilla spaces and events we expect participants in our Matrix forums to support and uphold the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as a condition of participation.

Please note that the great majority of the rooms on our Matrix instance, like Bugzilla and Discourse, are public-facing forums that can be read anonymously, and should be considered a public place. Your participation in public rooms like Mozilla-General will be publicly visible. Some people create alternative accounts or log in with alternative email addresses for this reason. See Mozilla's Websites, Communications & Cookies Privacy Notice for more information on our privacy policies.
