I didn’t find a better place to ask, so sorry for a potential off-topic.
Does Mozilla plan to establish official presence in the Mastodon network? For those who haven’t heard it, it’s very similar to Twitter, but open-source and and decentralized with all pros and cons. I see a significant number of people creating accounts there as well and I would like to create one for our local community, however I don’t know which instance would Mozilla go for, if they join, or if there will be a dedicated instance for Mozilla?
If you need information and experience about Mastodon, the French community is on this social media for a while now. @Mozilla@mamot.fr (Mastodon instance managed by a French organization which defends fundamental freedoms in the digital world).
We did look into this a few years ago. There were a few different issues, one of which is that it broadens the surface area that we have to maintain beyond the already broad area we have at present.
Maybe it is time to revisit if you want to focus on Mastodon instead of Twitter given the issues on Twitter recently?
I am a long-time Firefox and Pocket user, I think I’ve been on the top 1% of Pocket readers (and a subscriber) for a few years now, and I just got my end-of-year: “You are in top 1% of Pocket readers” email again, and it had a link to “share that” on Facebook and Twitter (neither of which I use, due to issues with privacy, security and overall issues with corporate social media). But I use Mastodon, and I’d share it there… but there didn’t seem to be a good way to do that. I’m sure I’m not the only one running into that this year…
