Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I haven't heard much about it since they launched it. Now would be the perfect time to open the gates. Twitter is dying, Reddit lost a chunk of users and the fediverse is growing rapidly as a result.

I wonder what's stopping them, it seems like its running fine already.

I put myself on the waitlist and I'm still waiting. By this point I'm not interested in moving servers anymore :/

They say they are part of the Mastodon federation system. I'm trying to subscribe from Lemmy and having no luck.

I find that Lemmy and Mastodon have trouble federating at the moment. Lemmy to Lemmy and Lemmy to kbin seems to work fine.

It's just another instance of the Mastodon:

mozilla.social is part of the decentralized social network powered by Mastodon.

You can find link to mozilla.social in the footer:

on mozilla.org and even firefox.com redirection page.

I'm aware of that. They talked as if it was supposed to be public. But months later they aren't letting anyone in.

I wonder if they'll open it up soon considering Mastodon patched some vulnerabilities that Mozilla helped fund.
