Last year we announced we would be joining Mastodon to explore an alternative to today's social media.
We’re excited to announce we’re expanding Mozilla.social to a private beta, with hopes to open to the public soon.
This is just the beginning. Read more about the launch of our instance, including how to join the public waitlist. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-social-mastodon-private-beta-announcement/

@mozilla What is your problem with Mozilla? They are open for constructive criticism, but you are just spitting hate. I don't think that is a particularly good way of articulating your opinion.
have you not seen this?: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/
its a disgusting display, absolute nazis.
>They are open for constructive criticism
no they don't lol, you think these kinda blog posts come because they're open to criticism?
>. I don't think that is a particularly good way of articulating your opinion.
Not going to bend over backwards to argue with the insane. I speak my mind and i hate that org.
@FrailLeaf
@mozilla Well, I wouldn't say that they are Nazis. That's not what Nazis typically do. That article actually argues for the things incorporated in the #DSA / #DMA of @EU_Commission
I personally think that moderation and transparency on these matters actually preserve the freedom of speech rather than restricting it, as people can speak without risking getting harrassed. See case Kellermayer.
On your "minorities" statement: I was not referring to LGBTQ, but to unpopular opinions in general. I already gave you the case Kellermayer. This woman was bombarded with hate and threats of violence as she argued for stricter CoVid measures. Of course, she feared for her safety. In the end, she killed herself. With better protection from that hate, she may still be with us. There are other examples for that, too.
@FrailLeaf
On your statement on nazism: Authoritarianism + a sense of superiority doesn't make someone a Nazi. Look at the UDSSR (a Communist / Socialist society, definitely not Nazis): They were the prime example of an authoritarian state and had a high sense of superiority.
I really want to have a conversation with you. That's why I wanted to know why you hate Mozilla (there are a lot of reasons to do so). However, I don't think that conversations work very well when we insult each other.
@IsraelDelendaEst
@FrailLeaf @EU_Commission Just No! However, I do know who is subverting governing bodies and controlling accepted discourse: Right wing organizations invest millions each year in exactly that. See e.g. here: https://www.prwatch.org/news/2020/01/13531/right-wing-megadonors-are-financing-media-operations-promote-their-ideologies
Who owns those media companies, BlackRock, and Vanguard?
@IsraelDelendaEst
@FrailLeaf @EU_Commission The identity of their investors is difficult to find out, as they use complicated nets of companies and NGOs and whatever to stay in the shadow. However, thanks to some journalists, we have at least some knowledge. Part of the money comes from the profits of Big Oil, the weapons industry or the chemical industry. One notable example would be the Koch Family who own the second largest privately owned company in the US with a revenue of 120 B $ in 2021.
@IsraelDelendaEst
@FrailLeaf Another man who you should look into is Peter Thiel, Co-Founder of Paypal, founder of Palantir and Clarium Capital and one of the first investors of Facebook as well as many other companies.
@IsraelDelendaEst
@FrailLeaf His sexuality does not make Mr. Thiel better or worse.
Fact is, however, that Peter Thiel uses his immense wealth to influence Media and Politics. That's why you should have a look at him.
>I personally think that moderation and transparency on these matters actually preserve the freedom of speech rather than restricting it, as people can speak without risking getting harrassed.
are you even aware of what's happening on the internet? You seem to hold flawed theoretical ideas. The "minorities" are the ones doxxing and harassing people who share their ideas. Somehow this isn't harassment and okay?
Absolute control over everything is authoritarianism and acting like you're above it is nazism.
If you're not going to hold a conversation, don't bother replying.
