That's disappointing. I love #FireFox and #Mozilla but this is the wrong direction. The org doesn't appear to have a strong strategy, constantly moving from VPN, to fedi, to AI. Supporting federated services is such an obviously good long-term play for their mission, so to end their Mastodon instance is unfortunate.
Mozilla will shut down its Mastodon server on December 17th.
The company is ending its Mozilla.social Fediverse experiment in content moderation and will remove all content and accounts — but you still have time to move elsewhere: TechCrunch notes that Mozilla had about 270 active Mastodon users as of Tuesday. A tracker based on the Mastodon API reports about 8 million accounts and 1 million or so active users overall.
