It’s pretty disappointing that Mozilla chose to go with Mastodon. There are already plenty of org-backed mastodon instances. It would have been nice for the supposed primary steward of the web and decentralization to really show the power of the fediverse and use a different implementation. Mozilla, and any other orgs starting up instances, could really help expand the fediverse, instead they’re helping to cement mastodon in it’s Gmail position.
I think doing something more decentralized than twitter is better than doing nothing at all.
I often hear this argument: you should’ve done “this” instead of “that”. I think it’s misleading. Doing “this” is already good. Doing “that” may be good too. Why not do “this” and “that”, not only one of them. Resources are not limited: there can be a lot more developers making new products.
