Mozilla wants to build a better social media platform inside of Mastodon, and being “neutral” is not part of the plan.
In a blog post, Steve Teixeira, Mozilla’s Chief Product Officer, announced that the company is expanding its Mozilla.social Mastodon instance into private beta. Why is the company doing it? According to Teixeira, “social is broken,” and the fediverse “moves power away from big tech companies and into the hands of diverse voices to build a social platform that meets people’s needs, not shareholders’ needs.”
So, how is Mastodon going to build a better social media experience? Being neutral is not part of the plan. Teixeira says that “you’ll notice a big difference in our content moderation approach compared to other major social media platforms.”
