#Mozilla just announced they are joining the #fediverse
"In early 2023, Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social"
they will start with Mastodon, but are "looking forward to working on the challenges that crosscut the Fediverse"

Similarly (mainly because a large instance is going to have many problems caused by size and lack of shared expectations), but I hope that this might also cause Mozilla to do interesting things to Firefox (e.g. start developing a fedi client as an extension? not a mastodon client, but something that can display activitypub posts/activitystreams collections with user-chosen UI?).
@robryk @dalfen well @thunderbird already started supporting @matrix so we will see if we might get some sort of interaction like that from mozilla...
