Lunduke has a great article on Mozilla funding (where the money goes):

Mozilla has also run unhinged articles about the fediverse:

Deko had a rant about how he's no longer donating to Mozilla, and instead donating to fedi projects, although it's no longer public

I think people are angry about blocking Meta for the wrong reasons. Everyone is concerned about datamining or FB EEEing the protocol, but nobody is concerned about FB just making it so you have to follow their rules to federate with them and having to fill out some form to get unblocked.
You know, like gmail does.

What makes you think FB won't because of "hate speech" or "spam" or something. There are already people adjacent to big tech who see the fedi this way, including one group launching their own fedi instance:

@lewdthewides @Tony @Kirino My problem with it is that it's much more centralized.
So imagine if some ex big tech CEOs and employees saw what Mastodon was doing and wanted to do the same thing, but with more jannies. That's the idea behind it. Furthermore, these people want shadowbans on federated networks.
Case in point, look at the infamous Decentralized Web of Hate paper from a Mozilla Fellow:

The mindset from the big tech and college rich kid crowd is that they will gimp the protocol or give the Tumblr mob censorship power to stop the bad people on p2p, and that's the idea behind bluesky IMO. Shit like Pleroma/Misskey having security holes is a happy little accident.

Before I read more, I'm going to remind you that Mozilla hates what the fedi is and wants to reshape it in their own image:
