   #Mozilla is creating a fediverse instance. What is Mozilla?

   • A “not-for-profit” that owns multiple for-profit businesses and pays its CEO $5.6M
   • Gets ~83% of its revenue (~$500,000,000) every year from surveillance capitalist Google
   • Makes a browser that protects your privacy (*some configuration required)
   • Is now a VC…

   This is the best we can expect from Silicon Valley/capitalism. Question is: can we do better than that?
