There is no specific rule against this, but I feel that culturally Debian generally doesn't like this. > The details are filed against firefox[-esr], #992208 [1] (which was > summarily closed without very much discussion).

I expect removing these might violate the Firefox trademark license, which would mean we would have to go back to the Iceweasel branding. The Debian users who are aren't against non-free services would likely get confused/annoyed if standard web services for their country were to disappear. > I would propose we replace these with things like lemmy, mastadon, peertub, > matrix, framasoft, fsf.org, and debian.org. These are mostly names of software rather than services, unless you suggest to point at specific hosted instances of these software projects. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
