Mastodon gGmbH<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When looking for an alternative to Twitter, Mastodon<\/a> is probably one of the options that pops up more frequently. Yet, you\u2019re probably faced by a confusing choice on which server to join \u2014 Mozilla wants to be the answer.<\/p>\n

The maker of the Firefox browser is officially spinning up its own Mastodon server, joining the many servers currently available. It will be available for public testing early next year, and whenever it\u2019s out, you\u2019ll be able to sign up for an account there on mozilla.social. The page isn\u2019t live yet, but it\u2019ll presumably be filled up with more info soon<\/p>\n

The magic of Mastodon server is that you can still follow other people<\/a> even if they\u2019re on other servers. If all your friends are on mastodon.social, or on other more specialized servers, and you still want to sign up for Mozilla\u2019s, it shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Mozilla isn\u2019t the first tech company to tread these waters either, as Vivaldi also recently released its own Mastodon server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mozilla says it wants to contribute to the \u201chealthy and sustainable growth of a federated social space that doesn\u2019t just operate but thrives on its own terms, independent of profit- and control-motivated tech firms.\u201d It should be a catch-all server just like most servers you can currently join on Mastodon, except this one will be backed by Mozilla.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to wait and see how Mozilla handles hosting a massive Mastodon server \u2014 the company has occasionally had issues with data privacy<\/a> and partnerships with companies like Meta (Facebook)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
