As highlighted in TechCrunch's article, Mozilla's exploration of the Fediverse has been truly captivating. They have been working steadily and thoughtfully, achieving remarkable advancements.
I must confess, I have been observing mozilla.social for quite some time. The choice to fork Elk and utilize it as a front end for their server was a clever move. It will be captivating to witness how Mozilla enhances the onboarding experience for its users.

They seem to be taking a very thoughtful, deliberative approach which is encouraging. The social media space could really use that.

@atomicpoet@firefish.city @fediversenews@venera.social When Gargron sat down to have a conversation with Facebook about the fediverse, he was criticized for selling out to a spyware company.
When Mozilla openly collaborates with Facebook to develop spyware and build it into their browser (while falsely marketing it as "privacy"), they get praised for "enhancing" the fediverse.
I wonder if there is even a hypothetical action Mozilla could take that would cause them to lose their status as the fediverse's favorite software developer?

Rebasing Firefox on top of a Chromium base would do it. But then if they end up needing to stoop that low for whatever reason I can't imagine they'd have very long left as an organization.dans_root@mastodon.social 1 year ago
@183231bcb @atomicpoet @fediversenews Well, whatever it is, it’s probably better than what we have now with all the cookies and trackers doing profiling on an individual level. And a web without advertising is not going to happen.
