in reply to Mozilla • • •Love this sentence in the last paragraph, sums up the problem statement well IMHO -
"In private hands our [social media] choice is limited, toxicity is rewarded, rage is called engagement, public trust is corroded, and basic human decency is often an afterthought."

in reply to Mozilla • • •Welcome to the #Fediverse, @mozilla! Yeah, let’s get moving! 💚🌱
"In early 2023, #Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the #Fediverse at Mozilla.Social. "
"Now is the time, as we’re living through the consequences of 20 years of centralized, corporate-controlled social media, with a small oligopoly of large tech firms tightening their grip on the public square."

in reply to Mozilla • • •That's fantastic news! Welcome to the Fediverse!
And thank you for making the conscious decision to use the word #Fediverse, instead of the brand of just one particular type of Fediverse server among myriad others.
I've assembled a short list of platforms available to choose from here:
write.as/tallship/making-bette…
Particular favorites for many are those of #Friendica, #Akkoma, #Soapbox, #Hometown and #Calkey.
Don't forget to checkout other Mastodon forks like Glitch-Soc too 🙂

in reply to Mozilla • • •This should be interesting.
Since Mozilla is also behind Thunderbird, I wonder if this means we might also see proper threaded reader support for social media, just like we had in the 90s?

Will you be contributing to the codebase? It could use some thoughtful design at your caliber.

in reply to Mozilla • • •Uh, the pretense that social media's problems isnt far right robots spewing lies, hate, anger, bullshit and pus, is pointless and strange.
And NOTHING done will stop the billionaires like Elon trying to destroy it if they cant take it over and make ot into Truth Social, as Elon has done to the late twitter platform.
