We’ve made the hard decision to end our experiment with Mozilla.social and will shut down the Mastodon instance on December 17, 2024. Thank you for being part of the Mozilla.social community and providing feedback during our closed beta. You can continue to use Mozilla.social until December 17. Before that date, you can download your data here (https://mozilla.social/settings/export), and migrate your account to another instance following these instructions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozilla-social-faq).

Now imagine what a nightmare it would be to moderate the ability to comment on anything online with actual standards and decency.

Why was it a bad idea? Seems like a wonderful idea. Minus Gab.
Some kind of web of trust and inheriting ignored users based on it and weights - and it will work.
