MozillaToday’s social media status quo isn’t cutting it, so Mozilla is exploring an alternative here on Mastodon. In early 2023, Mozilla will be testing a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social. We will keep you updated, but for now learn more here: https://mzl.la/3BNXQMQ
Gabriel Oliveira@mozilla Welcome to the fediverse.

juno suárez@mozilla welcome! Most mastodon clients require "https://" in front of the link to make it clickable ☺️
Robin from Colorado 🇺🇸🇺🇦
Neave Interactive@mozilla Great! (Pls edit post to make link work thx)
Fredi@mozilla welcome!
@mozilla sweet, I'm glad to see Mozilla taking part in the fediverse. Now if they would bring back the phoenix name to something that'd bring me joy haha
jim_-_-foxington 🦊@mozilla great👍 you do good work Mozilla

@mozilla Welcome to Mastodon! You should consider adding a verified link in your bio so we know this account is legitimate.
Dave Smith@danielhep @mozilla I wish more brands would leverage their well-known brand and domain for this, eg mastodon.mozilla.org. Then there is no question.

Antonius@mozilla this is huge

Good on you! Lead the way!
Good on you! Lead the way!
King of Red Lions@mozilla looking forward to it! I had such a hard time deciding which server to join, one run by Mozilla would have been a clear winner. If this goes well, maybe built-in support for navigating the Fediverse could be a differentiating feature for Firefox?
Vint ProxBe aware that moderation on Mozilla end can get hectic with this much people willing to join. Just my thoughts aloud why decentralization is required today in the first place. 
Lea de Groot TZ+10@mozilla you know that’s not clickable, right? :(
Tim Chambers@mozilla This is great! If this first step is successful linking Firefox identity to Mastodon Accounts and integrating to Pocket could be amazing….

@tchambers @mozilla I imagine that's the plan, given their Matrix instance works only by SSO with your Firefox account.
Bored milie@mozilla Just wrote about trends and how #Mastodon is a better option (and why), check here if you'd like: https://boredmilieblog.wordpress.com/2022/12/20/ending-the-year-on-a-maddening-note-literally/
Azarilhⓥ@mozilla Oh wow! That's great news! We need more companies like Mozilla to host Mastodon!
RicardoRomo@mozilla welcome
Fenn Martyn@mozilla Excellent news!

CubeOfCheese@thatonecalculator @mozilla haha yeah I noticed that too
Compuguy 🐱@mozilla Clickable link: https://mzl.la/3BNXQMQ
touch fluffy tail@mozilla how about you work in firefox
Chris Vitalos ✅@mozilla Didn't Vivaldi roll out their own Mastodon instance as of their latest browser release?

@mozilla Browsers stealing ideas from Vivaldi (nee Opera) and pretending they thought of them is nothing new lol.

Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한🦣The mozilla.social project they're going to launch is not their first instance in the Fediverse. ;) They used to have their own instance when the Fediverse was still using the OStatus protocol.
Also, there's no need to phrase it as “stealing ideas”, it's not like one group owns it. The more instances there are, the better for the Fediverse network. Now, if we're going to insist on that “stealing ideas” approach, well, everyone stole the idea from identica. LOL. Which is good.

@chrisvitalos @mozilla My often bone-dry sense of humour really suffers online unless I throw winking smileys at it. I assure you, I'm only teasing them. 😊
I'm genuinely pleased to see them here. The more the merrier. Did not know they'd tried before, though. That's useful to know.
Ahh! Well, you got me there. :D
But, true, it's hard to know without smilies. ^_^
@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."
Kat Ravenwolf@chrisvitalos @mozilla Where is that found? I would love to read the entire text, if possible.
Patryk Chojecki@cherrysandwich @chrisvitalos @mozilla Oh crap! No wonder... I heard about that blog entry being posted... I probably even boosted it... but never actually read it. LOL
Jason B 🧙♂️@mozilla 'bout time!
@mozilla very interesting!
Jesse Karmani@mozilla awesome!
onekade@mozilla very cool!
Sasha Costanza-Chock@mozilla this is exciting!!!
Adriel Hampton
Les Orchard@mozilla C'mon in, buds, the 🍍's are warm!
Shandy@mozilla how will you measure your success? I don't want to see this exciting Mozilla effort fizzle!
Holden Richards@mozilla Exciting development!
ArqArtur0@mozilla Oooh, a Mozilla tab, maybe?.
James Jay Cakes ⛷️And the great Vivaldi browser has Mastodon built right in and their server instance https://social.vivaldi.net/
Daniel Ayers ZL1DFA@mozilla Great, but can we please have verified links on this profile for validation purposes? Thanks, and looking forward to see what develops ... :)

Cathie English, Ph.D.@mozilla This is fantastic news. Once one corporation makes the move, more will follow. The fediverse is quite pleasant, and I can’t wait to integrate Firefox with Mastadon (albeit I’m on my app at present but the browser version is richer).
Grant 🇺🇦ArmUkraine🇺🇦@mozilla Fricking awesome. Really
Eli Rivera 🍉@mozilla welcome!
Bryan Ruby@mozilla Welcome!
