We’ve made the hard decision to end our experiment with Mozilla.social and will shut down the Mastodon instance on December 17, 2024.

    Fediverse is so 2022. It’s all about AI now.

      Political. Steve Teixeira was the one championing the focus on social. Apparently the faction that wanted him out won, and now they are getting rid of his babies, too.

      Details of the lawsuit.

    Well running a server and no longer interacting with a service can be two different things. From an organizational standpoint I could absolutely understand them not wanting or needing the expense of another service to maintain. Even for just their own use. As long as they still have accounts and post to the fediverse. I don’t see a big issue

      They’ll probably still have an instance in the sense that mozilla folks with have @mozilla.social addresses. That’s the kind of thing their hosting staff can easily administer on the side, and moderation is already covered by HR.

    I never interacted with mozilla.social, but I wonder if they considered organising mozilla.social through a connected volunteer association, before deciding to shutdown.

    I was actually thinking about to go through the profile directory and follow interesting people on there. I guess I should wait.

      Might be actually better to follow them now. In case these profiles move to another instance, you will still follow them after the move. But if you don’t follow them it might be harder to find out if and where they moved to, to find them again.

    I hope that means that they can and will put more power into Firefox development - to concentrate on their main thing.
