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 outside the engineering teams, a Firefox account never actually came to Mastodon. On Threads, Firefox doesn't even use the Fediverse integration.
I always found that a little weird.
But, I guess we now know - outside engineering, the Fediverse is not something Mozilla + Firefox ever really believed in.
@chris_hayes @mozilla I think it's probably for the better. I prefer having the people of Mozilla to the official corporate account run by some PR pro here.
