Hardly surprising, looking at how many former google and Facebook employees are in Mozilla’s management.

Tbh, what shocks me the most about this is how sloppy this appears to have been executed.

Maybe zen browser! Idk, my only hope is either Ladybird or Servo producing something usable this decade.

What? The old internet absolutely had moderation, even back in the day of BBS.

My medication mostly.

Looking forward to seeing the cope from the Mozilla fanboys for that one.

I am still waiting desperately for a servo based browser, mozilla kicking it out was one of the reasons I lost all hope in Mozilla a while back.

Because the Fediverse is a mess with atrocious UX. Choose the wrong server and you might find you are cut off from a large chunk of it because a mastodon.art mod didn’t like something that happened on your instance and servers copy blocklist from each other (not a theoretical example, mind you, something I learned a few months into being on one particular instance.).

Servers can have all sorts of rules you will have to carefully study or risk getting banned (some for example will only allow images with descriptions being shared, this includes boosts.)

In short, the amount of work expected to participate is just - never - going to draw in the average user.

It doesn’t though.

Originally 4 years old at this point it looks like, and the great shift to wasm has failed to manifest.

Yeah that’s pretty much the only real market I can see for this.

Tbh, that’s pretty much what it looks like, the only “innovation “ there appears to be also glueing vmware on top.

The very same, yes.

It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.

Not wrong, but 30 years are probably good enough for most backup cases

Also I feel like at that point you might as well go tape rather than fiddle around with 40 Blu-rays.

Honestly if you want the best chance of brand new hardware working, a rolling release distro running the newest release kernel as soon as possible is pretty much your best bet.

Mastodon and the fediverse are nerd shit with massive usability issues. Even I gave up on Mastodon and I would consider myself far more willing to put up with shit than the average user will ever be. The mass will - never - migrate to the fediverse and in many ways, especially looking at moderation issues, that is probably a good thing.

For people who like a concept more than practicality. There’s maybe a handful use cases that this specific device fits in that isn’t covered better by existing tech, but I guarantee if that thing actually gets kickstarted and arrives severely delayed in several years, it’ll show up in a couple YouTube videos with people sort of uncertain what to use it for, and in the vast majority of cases it’ll end up in some drawers after having been used a few hours tops.

Yet more cryptotrash.
