I wish they had a mastodon account... they have https://mozilla.social, but they don't have an account there... which is bizarre.

They do have an account for Firefox Nightly and Firefox Dev Tools account though.

My Mastodon feed is pretty dry. Does anyone have any follow recommendations for active accounts that post about tech stuff Or pictures of critters?

[–] drudoo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Consider subscribing to a hashtag. That way your feed will be a lot more active.

It's a shame that they are still using Twitter instead of Mastodon

Mozilla has set up an instance on Mastodon. But it is understandable that they have presence on mainstream social media websites since that is where most of their users are.

If there's an official account for Firefox on mastodon or elsewhere on the fediverse it doesn't appear to be easy to find.

There is a @mozilla@mozilla.social, but despite having twenty thousand followers it appears to have been inactive since June and has only ever made 7 posts.

Can't spread the good word if you avoid the largest userbases

Wait, red pandas are called firefoxes?

[–] StewartGilligan@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Red Pandas are also often known as 火狐 in chinese, which literally translates to β€œfire fox”.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 43 points 1 year ago

On the internet, nobody knows you're a red panda.

That just makes no sense. Next you'll tell me that onions have no business in making my Tor experience more anonymous either?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You traffic runs though physical onions

The screenshot is from Squawker which is an anonymous read-only Twitter client, Twitter is shit but I thought it'd be worth mentioning that.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

It is worth mentioning!

[–] DTFpanda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was sticking up for OP who just wanted to post a meme but this place can't help itself from repeating the same sentiments over and over like a bad tick

Sounds like Reddit.

When they get back from watching CinemaSins and see this comment they're gonna be pissed.

[–] chrishazfun@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fellow Squawker user, for the handful of accounts that somehow haven't dipped from that cesspit lol

Firefox needs to bring back Foxkeh globally and give us Foxkeh plushies dammit 😭
