Big win for Bluesky, Firefox is no longer posting on X @firefox.com 2.4M followers on X

Link is to the Bluesky account that tracks companies moving to Bluesky (in particular, but it is in this case so I felt it’s a fitting link).

They in turn link to the Firefox Bluesky profile.

    Didn’t they recently shut down their mastodon instance? Yeah, this is an improvement, but it’s disappointing they didn’t stick with mastodon too

          @mozillaofficial@mastodon.social was last active on February 2, when it live posted from FOSDEM. :)

          That they went from running their own instance to not even managing to verify their account… well, no comment.

          And as for the active account on Bluesky while ignoring Mastodon… Well, I guess the open source and privacy communities are just not among their target audiences any more. They haven’t even enabled Bridgy.

            Is there a way on Mastodon to verify an account, like the blue hook on Twitter used to be?

            I think privacy aware people already use ‘vanilla’ Firefox or a derivate, so the communication and information directed towards the ‘muggles’, e.g. convincing them to use Mozilla’s software or FOSS in general, is different from that.

              Yeah. For example, @thunderbird@mastodon.online has verified their account: The link to thunderbird.net has a green background on their profile, indicating that the profile is run by whoever owns that domain.

              It’s super easy. You add <link href="https://yourserver/@yourusername" rel="me"> in the header of your website, and include said website in your profile on Mastodon.

              You can also include a link anywhere on your website including rel="me", as in <a href="https://yourserver/@yourusername" rel="me">Follow me on Mastodon</a>
