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).
Good. They should focus on their browser. No one wanted their side projects. It was scope creep and took away resources from their main product offering. Sounds like the right move.
They’re going to continue chasing the AI trend right up until the bubble bursts. At which point they’ll continue wasting money on the next big trend, assuming that the bubble bursting doesn’t kill Mozilla in the process.

My understanding is that they are focusing on adding in “AI” features in a big way, and that’s why they cut development on the other work. 🫤
Fuck AI too. No one wants that garbage. I hate that everything has a chatbot now
But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren’t getting Google money and don’t spy on users?
I have no idea :-)
Kagi is making some money by providing value that Google can’t. I’m not sure if it would be enough for mozilla, but Kagi is making a profit now.
Sadly, both of these companies still depend on Google.
Kagi is no better than Mozilla though. They even bought a T-shirt factory lol https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
I hope thats what they will do but i very much doubt it. Looking at her track record makes me think that she has no good intemtions with mozilla.
Yea probably not lol.
