@ryanleesipes Tbh, I fear the future impact of mozilla on this project.

@anghenfil how do you mean? We've been running K-9 Mail for two years. Thunderbird is in its own entity (MZLA) that is co-governed by a Council elected from our contributors. We are committed to transparent, open source development of our products with plenty of seats at the table for our community.

@ryanleesipes Good to hear that Thunderbird is a own entity. Mozilla killed many great projects in the last years and lost a lot of trust. (e.g. look at the mozilla mastodon instance which gets shut down without any explanation)

@anghenfil I'm sad to see the Mozilla mastodon instance go down as well (was preparing to migrate). But my thoughts are a little different on this front. Some of us in the Mozilla universe are close to the Mastodon project (I've sat with Eugen a couple times to talk strategy for Mastodon).

Are the Mozilla Corporation's efforts best spent running a Mastodon instance? (Something that so many others are doing amazingly). Or is the time best spent making Firefox better? I think it's the latter.
