Mozilla exits fediverse: Shutting down Mozilla.social on Dec 17, 2024. Only 270 active users vs 247,500+ on Mastodon.social. Part of strategic refocus on Firefox and AI under new leadership.

This move underscores the difficulties orgs face in fediverse adoption. While decentralization offers advantages, maintaining active user bases and justifying resources remains a hurdle for many companies exploring this space.

Users can download data or migrate to other instances. Mozilla will maintain smaller team for Mastodon ecosystem engagement. Highlights challenges in sustaining decentralized platforms despite account portability benefits.
