@nixCraft my theory: cutting down costs in prevision of the revenue loss from Google paying Mozilla to make Google it’s default browser, caused by the defeat from Google on court on a antitrust case, brought by the Departement of Justice of the United States of America.

Sadly, Mozilla didn’t cut on AI crap.

Edit: typo and added "my theory" to make clear it’s an opinion.

@nixCraft Because they just struck a deal with Palentir to sell all the collected data.

@nixCraft Here's hoping that LibreWolf is at least not being equally compromised. Mozilla really needs to change tacks.

@nixCraft I guess it's not the kind of web #Mozilla want to see and support.

@nixCraft I can see why running a server for users is not a great fit for them.

However, they should definitely have a presence here. Either a one-account server, or just an account

@nixCraft I read they only had 247 monthly users on that server. There are plenty of others can accommodate that.

@nixCraft and this is why I didn't go with a corporate instance. Anyone looking for a good server look no futher than @selea's social.linux.pizza.

@nixCraft my cynical bet: they thought they gonna milk it for additional money in some way to pay for all those poor hard working people on the top. browser for mozilla is a tertiary issue nowadays.

@nixCraft time to use https://brave.com/ #brave #browser

@nixCraft it's a closed beta anyway, Mozilla is turning evil since a long time

@nixCraft shame, but at the same time this shows the power of mastodon / open source. You can just download your data and move over to a different server. Try doing that with the former blue bird or the F-site.

@nixCraft If they shut down their Mastodon but still exist on X, then it's obvious to anyone not totally blind where their influence is coming from - and as consequence, where they are headed.
