Mozilla has announced the closure of its decentralized social platform on the Fediverse, the domain Mozilla.Social will cease operations starting from December 17. Users are advised to download their data or migrate it to other Fediverse services such as Mastodon, as Fediverse is an open system. Mozilla.Social was a centrally distributed social project, operating as an experimental project that began testing in 2023 with fewer than a thousand regular users. Prior news had hinted at Mozilla.Social being discontinued as part of Mozilla’s plan to divest from projects that do not align with its core product. In the support page detailing the closure of Mozilla.Social, Mozilla stated that shutting down the Fediverse server was a challenging decision.
