So hilarious how easily people are triggered by the announced shutdown of mozilla.social. Even if that doesn't mean that the Mozilla folks will leave the Fediverse altogether rather than joining another instance.
People seem to try to call for a total global boycott of everything that Mozilla has ever laid their hands on. From their iPhones and their stock Android phones on which they still use Google Chrome on factory settings and their Windows laptops on which they're ready to uninstall Firefox and switch back to either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
Apple. Google. Microsoft. So what, at least none of them is Mozilla.
Oh, and people also prefer closed-source Vivaldi over free, open-source, inherently secure LibreWolf because the latter is a Firefox soft fork.
Speaking of which, I guess the preferred migration destinations of the mozilla.social users are:
- social.vivaldi.net (to spite Mozilla)
- mastodon.social (for dummies)
- Bluesky (if you already have to move, you may just as well go where the UI is the closest to your familiar Twitter)
Seriously, I expect absolutely none of them to move anywhere in the ActivityPub-connected Fediverse that's neither Mastodon nor Threads.
