I have this huge fear that working for an actual good cause that I admire would make me feel constantly guilty that I’m not doing enough, or doing a good enough job. I find a lot of comfort in knowing I work for a soulsucking for profit corporation.
And yes, I also hate that I feel this way
No pay listed?
Absolutely moving to this instance when it’s up. Love seeing them invest so much into it!
They’re a former client. (Happenstance hit up old contact yesterday to pitch my current company)
Incredible humans. Meritocracy Everyone has a voice. And they get shit done. It’s almost like open source community plus money is good.
Which is scary since Google could cut off the funding at any point. Mozilla have been trying to find alternative revenue streams (like their VPN service) but almost all of their funding still comes from Google.
I’m not a tech fella – just a refugee from the Reddit collapse trying to find my way in a social media environment that feels more authentic, less corporate, and more free. So – here’s wishing all of you good luck in this position but for me, I’m just amazed that a major browser has the Fediverse on the radar. Isn’t this kind of a big deal?
Mozilla doesn’t just make Firefox. At its core, Mozilla is a non-profit foundation with basically the goal of making the internet a better place for everyone.
And well, the Fediverse is an independent push for making social media better for everyone. And social media is an important part of the internet, so it’s certainly in the range of things that Mozilla’s donors would expect that donation money to be used.
