Damn, Mozilla.social is going away. Guess they need the hardware to run AI for their browsers

In any event, if you're on mozilla.social and looking for a new fediverse home, we've been here for nearly 8 years, and will be here for 8 more. At least.

@jerry - Reading through the local timeline.... I'm sad now.
Mozilla.social
The social network of the future: No ads, no corporate surveillance, ethical design, and decentralization! Own your data with Mastodon!

@Linux_in_a_Bit @jenbanim @jerry I remember setting up raindrop! It was the Mozilla answer to Google Wave.
I'm still sad about them killing off FxOS.

Same. Always happy to help anyone who needs to move to TechHub.social. -

For me, the #Mozilla mess is a reminder that encouraging corporate or government instances isn't the right way to nurture the #fediverse — we work best at a small community scale.
"Get big fast" is for Silicon Valley VC jerks.

They are on the #fediverse already: @threads - #FCKMETAIf anybody, an #OpenSource #NonProfit like #Mozilla would have been the right fit... sad it didn't work out
Let's hope they at least keep a presence on another instance.

@madeindex @david_megginson @tinker @jerry there are plenty of instances in the sea. I never looked to a browser to provide such a service, and apparently they only had 247 users Mozilla can toot from mastodon.social or fosstodon or...

@ben I believe it had a lot more than the current number - toward the end of 2023 they announced funding had been cut and people reassigned, and I think a lot of people migrated away after that. @madeindex @david_megginson @tinker

#MozillaSocial had 247 "active users"
The announcement to shutdown ironically increased their active user count to 307!
