We’ve made the hard decision to end our experiment with Mozilla.social and will shut down the Mastodon instance on December 17, 2024. Thank you for being part of the Mozilla.social community and providing feedback during our closed beta. You can continue to use Mozilla.social until December 17. Before that date, you can download your data here (https://mozilla.social/settings/export), and migrate your account to another instance following these instructions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozilla-social-faq).

Mozilla is such a terrible company, really sucks that they are the only alternative to chromium based browsers, and they still suck as a company.
This is why we need a community maintained browser, something that is made by the community and for the community. Where those maintaining it aren't insulated from the community's wishes. Mozilla is insulated from them and that's a big problem for the future of Firefox, and anything else they make.

What do you say? Mozilla is a good "company". I use Firefox and Thunderbird as default and it works. I don't know why you say it. It is so sad for hear it.

Maybe because they've been trying to start an advertising company, because they've been investing crazy into the AI bubble (and it is a bubble).
I don't deny that Firefox and Thunderbird are fantastic, the question is will they stay that way with Mozilla's current direction or will they be pumped full of AI trash and advertising. Not to say that will happen but it is a possibility, as well as the possibility they will screw us over in a future manifest version like Google did.
These are the consequences of Mozilla's decline. Hopefully they don't because there isn't much else, and currently isn't any kind of community effort to build our own browser. They're the best there is.

Yea, AI is trash, I know.

@Draconic_NEO @the_ilmfurter @rail_ @mozilla I strongly disagree about AI, as the new on-device translation feature is great. I finally don't have to send everything to Google for translation. I can translate it privately in Firefox.
@elgregor
You are in a minority, while I do agree that translation services can be useful, a chatbot is not something that should be integrated into a browser like on the later nightlies, something that will likely make its way into stable Firefox.
It is a waste of money and resources better spent on maintaining and improving Firefox, not chasing the AI trend.
