Mozilla.Social isn’t worried about censorship or free speech — it’s much more interested in being a safe place to be.
Content moderation quickly emerged as the place Mozilla felt it could do some immediate good. In part because it’s a big company with lots of resources and tools for moderation and in part because it fits so squarely with thereal life, that everyone must be able to use it and feel welcome on it, and that the internet’s job is to make life better.
Whatever Mozilla did in this space was likely to be a big deal, and Teixeira says he’s hopeful that the ecosystem steals all of Mozilla’s best ideas. He likes to talk about the “loadout” for a new platform like this and thinks Mozilla can help build tools that are eventually just available by default to anyone who wants to stand up a Mastodon instance or develop a complementary platform. With content moderation, that’s a tall order: moderation is a tricky, manual job that doesn’t scale easily.
Beyond the content rules, Mozilla.Social won’t immediately look much different than most Mastodon instances — for now
