Y'all fickle beasts. Not a few months ago Firefox was a cult

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

We aren't fickle. We adhere very strongly to our principles but it's easier to direct people to a name when they aren't interested in understanding why.

~~Google~~ Mozilla shutting down yet another project:

Are they still running a matrix instance?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

I wonder when they will stop that, too.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So they aren't exiting the fediverse. The whole premise of the article is wrong.

Unfortunate, but not unexpected.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I don't get why, I can't see this be difficult or costly to run, but then again I have no clue, never ran a Mastodon instance.

I would assume that it's not worth the small reach compared to running X / Bluesky / Threads accounts but then again, like I said, the cost must be super small. 🤷

Running the server probably costs about $100 per year, plus one person's $180,000 salary

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

I'm not sure why they created one to begin with

That's a little cringe isn't it?

How defeatist of you, Mozilla. Whatever happened to your pride? Oh, it went a long time ago when you make a big deal about going 3.0 and how you claimed to have improved Firefox's performance. Been a long time, but Firefox remains ever more the same as it did way back then, just cluttered with more features that weighs it's performance.

The only thing you need to know about how Lemmings think about politics is that they bash Mozilla more than Google.
