She also wrote that awful "we need to go even further than deplatforming" blog post a few years back. I have no real opinions about her skill as CEO, but when she is out there actively encouraging the division in our society I could not in good conscience support Mozilla any more. I hope that the next CEO will be more focused on building up, rather than tearing down.

This is the post in question:
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplat...
What is questionable about the things that she suggests? The only thing that I see there that is debatable is "amplify factual voices", and then only because it's unclear who decides what those are. But all other suggestions seem common sense to me.
If you mean the fact that she is condemning the US Capitol riot in no uncertain terms, I fail to see how that is "encouraging the division in our society". The riot itself did that, not commentary on it.

The ideas in the blog post are good, but the title is terrible; deplatforming is a synonym for censorship, which is a weird thing for the CEO of Mozilla to advocate for. The ideas would be better received if they were presented as an alternative to deplatforming.
