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).

    Lemmy support would be much more fitting for Mozilla. They could add plugin or lemmy integration to their browser that could show discussions from subscribed communities matching the current url.

    Effectively acting as a “comment section” but for any page. One would only need lemmy account to comment on youtube videos, news articles, blogs etc.

      I didn’t want to rain on your parade, but:

      • Firefox has hundreds of millions of users.
      • Lemmy has less than half a million total users, and YTD MAU peaked at 52k.

      Even putting aside technical details, I fail to see how “Lemmy integration in the browser” could be a good product strategy. A plugin/extension can also be developed by independent developers, which seems much more fitting for the size of the target demographic. Maybe I’m missing something.

      It seems like there is no user named “Mozilla” on the lemmy.world instance. However, Mozilla does have a variety of other projects and services apart from Firefox and Thunderbird, such as:

      1. Mozilla Matrix: Mozilla operates an instance of the Matrix chat protocol. You can join and communicate on their Matrix channels.
      2. Mozilla VPN: A virtual private network service.
      3. Pocket: An application for managing a reading list of articles from the web.
      4. Common Voice: A project to help make voice recognition open and accessible to everyone.
      5. MDN Web Docs: Documentation for web technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

      For more detailed information, you might want to visit the Mozilla website or their GitHub repository.

    Sigh, so is Mozilla just like Google now? Can’t trust any services to stick around?

    I didn’t use it but the lack of an explanation is a frustrating response. Give feedback to the feedback??

      They’re a small indie company and they need the server power to run the AI in Firefox
