Firefox stops posting on fElon's social media! 🥳
Bluesky Wins (@blueskywins.bsky.social)
Link is to the Bluesky account that tracks companies moving to Bluesky (in particular, but it is in this case so I felt it's a fitting link).
They in turn link to the Firefox Bluesky profile.
Didn't they recently shut down their mastodon instance? Yeah, this is an improvement, but it's disappointing they didn't stick with mastodon too
It's like their entire PR department is an infinite number of monkeys banging on typewriters... it took a while, but they managed to produce an idea that wouldn't hurt their image.
Boom
The good ones were likely lost during recent layoffs.
Nice from one walled garden to the next
They have an official Mastodon account too.
Didn't know that, but it seems like they have not posted anything since May 2023
Neither the Firefox Bluesky profile nor the Twitter account mention this when I looked just now.
I suspect with how litigious Musk has become, the small man he is, they didn't want to do something that could be constructed as trying to make people move away, actively?
I think the most concrete thing they've done is remove the Twitter/X icon from their web site. If you scroll down to the footer, you can see their social links, which no longer point to Twitter for either @Mozilla or @Firefox.
But from my point of view, for all I know Firefox did not stop posting on Twitter. There's only this random Bluesky post that claims it does.
Hardly an improvement. That is just Twitter 2.0.
No fEeon is a giant improvement
The only major non-profit backed, people-first browser ️‍🔥
Yeah right. It's nearly entirely funded by Google.
Okay, but Mozilla still sucks.
