Mozilla exits the fediverse and will shutter its Mastodon server in December | TechCrunch
'Mozilla.social' was launched in May 2023 as a Mastodon instance provided by Mozilla. A feature of Mastodon is that anyone can launch an 'instance,' and 'Mozilla.social' was an instance that clearly stated that it prioritized control over neutrality and 'protection of the community over freedom of speech,' and that it would carry out strong content moderation.
Beta testing of Mozilla's Mastodon instance begins, clearly showing aggressive stance to abandon 'neutrality' and focus on moderation - GIGAZINE
Mastodon is a decentralized social networking site, unlike Facebook or X, so even if Mozilla.social is shut down, users will be able to migrate to another instance while keeping their content and followers.
In addition, if you migrated your account from another instance to Mozilla.social, you may not be able to transfer your followers if you try to return to the original instance. In this case, you may be able to avoid the problem by temporarily migrating to another instance and then migrating back to the original server.
If you want to save your Mozilla.social activity, you can download it before the service shuts down on December 17, 2024.
