@mina @dantheclamman if so many people code for free, couldn't they have a simple Mastodon server run by a tech community? I think the actual leadership has no idea what Mozilla Foundation was.

@everton137

Running a simple Mastodon server is not a big thing.

Setting up a resilient big instance, like Vivaldi does, requires commitment.

I mean vivaldi is 1/10th the size of mozilla and running a server 5x as large

@morrowind

Exactly! Mozilla wants people to know, they don't give a shit.

A few years of party for executives are still possible, and just before Firefox and Thunderbird go into oblivion, quickly into a new management position at an ai company (or whatever may be the hype, then).

Mark my words!
