Lol…people sayin mozilla goin downhill…they have been putting up a fake premise to the public for 10 years.
I bet its two users are both very sad
i’m legitimately sad about this since i loved having a nice wholesome social media network that actually takes moderation seriously to keep up trolls and harassers :(
It is sad, really thought they were trying to do something good but I guess they were just trying to chase trends, they’re pursuing the AI trend now heavily, and a lot of Firefox users are pissed about it, many think they are shutting down because they don’t get the positive feedback and enthusiasm about AI that they were hoping to on Mastodon, as they do on other platforms like twitter and threads.
Man, Mozilla used to be nice but they have just turned so shit. I hope the core firefox people quit and make a new browser so that I can donate directly to the new browser instead of some middle man (or woman right now) who siphons off the money (aka Mozilla).
Are they leaving Fediverse?
Fediverse is so 2022. It’s all about AI now.
When it’s not about simping for Trump
Wait what? Am I slow or are you saying Mozilla has been “simping for Trump”?? How??
Linkerbaan does every 5 minutes
Oh fuck off you troll.
“Oh they post about Israels genocide and Bidens complacency in it, they must love Trump”
I remember your many insults toward me. Your lack of willingness or ability to reason or stop yourself from throwing a tantrum leads me to believe it’s intentional: you and Linkerbaan must be projecting and are the ones who want Palestinians to suffer. You’re both certainly doing a lot to increase it.
who is linkerbaan?
User who posts a lot about Gaza and Israels crimes.
why do I care about a random lemmy user? I was asking about Mozilla.
Wonder why he’s still on Lemmy.world if that’s the case, last I checked alt-right and other bad-faith politics are a bannable offense on lw.
Yeah he’s been banned from some subs for this exact reason. He makes a big stink about it every time he is banned anywhere.
Example: https://lemmy.world/post/18634532
I assume they stay on LW to reach a larger audience.
I mean it’s kind of amazing that LW admins haven’t banned him for this, really reflects poorly on our instance that people like him are allowed to thrive and troll here.
Yeah, nah reflects more poorly that you want to silence pro-Palestinian voices.
I agree fully
The replies are a prime example of the fediverse microblogging sphere’s greatest qualities.
This entire event is unfortunate, but unsurprising.
Like what qualities?
I’m sorry, banana, that was sarcasm. I saw nothing I’d call a quality.
Normally these kind of announcements come with some kind of explanation. The lack of one reflects very poorly on Mozilla and leads me to assume the worst.
I have a feeling it’s so they can use the money for more AI garbage. They’ve been heading in that direction lately, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Honestly I’m starting to think that their “experiments” are more about chasing trends than actually trying to provide good products and services for their users.
I hope that means that they can and will put more power into Firefox development - to concentrate on their main thing.
El oh el
Really sad to see it go and really annoyed to see them pushing AI
I never interacted with mozilla.social, but I wonder if they considered organising mozilla.social through a connected volunteer association, before deciding to shutdown.
Managing unpaid volunteers is its own kind of headache
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.
Well that’s lame.
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 guess along with all the google money, they also got Google’s pathological need to cancel everything, too.
