At first I was surprised that Mozilla.social is shutting down, but Mozilla didn’t seem to have a complete strategy for the social web. Running a Mastodon server and investing in Mammoth were good first steps. Missing was anything that tied these efforts back to Firefox, Pocket, or new products.

Yeah. No kidding. I didn't even know they were running an instance. Seems like a wasted vector to not integrate it with Firefox.

@manton Kinda like Mozilla diving head first into AI with no real plan. Just that AI is the hotness and Mozilla needs to be there to do it's own "private" thing.

Step 1 - AI
Step 2 - ???
Step 3 - Profit!

@manton I recall signing up to be notified when it was open to the public, but then it just fell of my radar completely. Maybe some more marketing would have helped too.

Tim Apple

did it ever open to the public? I don't think it made it that far.
