I wish they had a mastodon account... they have https://mozilla.social, but they don't have an account there... which is bizarre.

They do have an account for Firefox Nightly and Firefox Dev Tools account though.

My Mastodon feed is pretty dry. Does anyone have any follow recommendations for active accounts that post about tech stuff Or pictures of critters?

Consider subscribing to a hashtag. That way your feed will be a lot more active.

@pnutzh4x0r @StewartGilligan do tell about this mozilla.social. Like is it worth checking out and telling people about? Do you have or know someone who has an account?

It's a shame that they are still using Twitter instead of Mastodon

Mozilla has set up an instance on Mastodon. But it is understandable that they have presence on mainstream social media websites since that is where most of their users are.

If there's an official account for Firefox on mastodon or elsewhere on the fediverse it doesn't appear to be easy to find.

There is a @[email protected], but despite having twenty thousand followers it appears to have been inactive since June and has only ever made 7 posts.

Can't spread the good word if you avoid the largest userbases

Wait, red pandas are called firefoxes?

[–] StewartGilligan 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Red Pandas are also often known as 火狐 in chinese, which literally translates to β€œfire fox”.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago

On the internet, nobody knows you're a red panda.

That just makes no sense. Next you'll tell me that onions have no business in making my Tor experience more anonymous either?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You traffic runs though physical onions

Fellow Squawker user, for the handful of accounts that somehow haven't dipped from that cesspit lol

Firefox needs to bring back Foxkeh globally and give us Foxkeh plushies dammit 😭

I bet if you peel them and slow roast them over a fire they would be delicious though.
