Sorry to hear, the comments on the post aren't happy
Doesn't help that they have offered no explanation at all.
The comments on the post also aren't from Mozilla.social. It's not like they would have been happy to see Mozilla as a successful actor on the Fediverse either.
I think it's to be expected with their current decisions of chasing the AI trend and buying an advertising company, but mostly from chasing the AI trend. After all as much as the few AI-bros here would like to claim most of Firefox users are not happy about the idea of AI chatbot integration into Firefox, and especially aren't happy about AI search history integration into Firefox.
Many people think that Mozilla is trying to cut off communication with their customers or move to more corporate social media like threads or Twitter since their AI efforts are not being well received in this community. And will I definitely can say it's more complicated than that, that's not a wrong idea either, since their AI efforts are absolutely not well received by this community.
