Here's another project to add to the list for anyone who cares about the Fediverse.

Almost a year ago, Mozilla shut down its Mastodon instance: https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/17/mozilla-exits-the-fediverse-and-will-shutter-its-mastodon-server-in-december/

Mozilla /could/ have chosen to redirect its AI resources towards Fediverse projects.

That could have come in the form of development support for Fedi projects.

Just imagine what a project like Friendica or GtS or Lemmy could accomplish with even one or two full-time paid staff funded by Mozilla.

Mozilla /could/ have built user friendly client apps for Fediverse platforms.

Mozilla /could/ have built Fediverse-integrated features (bookmark sharing?) or plugins for Firefox.

Mozilla /could/ have offered managed Fediverse server hosting.

It chose not to.
