   @jalcine Mozilla is a half-billion dollar for-profit corporation that gets that money almost-exclusively from surveillance capitalist Google. They’re also venturing into AI and are, themselves, venture capitalists now. As their head of public policy once told me “I don’t know why you’re holding us to such a higher standard… we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”

     Mozilla's taking an interesting lead here as a NGO (with their resources) to help bolster the Fediverse. The fact that moderation and safety isn't an afterthought is reassuring. https://www.theverge.com/23710406/mozilla-social-mastodon-fediverse-moderation

     And taking a step to look how to incorporate public services instead of celebrities and politicians should be onboarded (since they provide more immediate value to the other 99% of the users) is dope! (https://jacky.wtf/2023/5/iTV4)
