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).
Normally these kind of announcements come with some kind of explanation. The lack of one reflects very poorly on Mozilla and leads me to assume the worst.
I have a feeling it’s so they can use the money for more AI garbage. They’ve been heading in that direction lately, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Honestly I’m starting to think that their “experiments” are more about chasing trends than actually trying to provide good products and services for their users.
