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.

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.

Oh that's fair enough.

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.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
