Mozilla is more an organisation than a company. It turns profit to work for the free internet

There are 2 organizations, the Mozilla foundation and it’s subsidiary the Mozilla corporation. The corp is a for-profit entity, they’re the ones developing software, and generating revenue (mainly through the Google search deal).

in a world where companies with billions oppose it.

Source? The main opposition to Mozilla are ad agencies, and former employees who think they’ve abandoned their values (pocket, Google, AI, MDN, etc.). Their main opposition in the browser space has been keeping them afloat for years.

But yeah, I’m sure that this federated (which also means an organisation of a sort) will prevail on it’s own. Nice banner you have here - and the following is surely huge! ;-)

Wtf are you talking about? Learn what the federated part of fediverse means.

Also, love how you’re talking shit about federated services on a federated service. You can’t make this up.

And feddit du cost money - the cost is just shared by the ones making and maintaining the serves and software. But hey, keep believing it’s free…

No shit hosting cost money, I was specifically talking about the cost to the end user, the same thing as you…

Matrix is not free. It might be private - who knows for sure? And it’s not used by many…

Lmao

Matrix is a FOSS protocol, and there are multiple FOSS apps using that protocol. You can even host it on your own if you want to be absolutely sure nobody can get any possible metadata. You literally can’t get more sure than that unless you write it yourself…

Where did I write “for profit”? Are you really that clueless? A reasonable price, is what it cost to develop and maintain it, and promote it. You know, just like Mozilla does. It’s not a “for profit” company, it’s an organisation for internet privacy and freedom.

Again, the Mozilla corporation is a for-profit entity, and that’s why they’re able to charge for premium services…

So please stop you lies. That’s a childish way to try to argue!

Do a bit of research instead of spouting nonsense, calling names, and throwing tantrums. It’s not very mature.

I really won’t… The closest I’ll ever get to installing it is Mint, there’s absolutely no need to waste time decrapifying it myself. Maybe you’ll get there as well pal.

But what we need is for someone like Mozilla to make a messaging app

Hoping for a company to make a chat app

And at a reasonable price…

Are we paying for fediverse services? Are there any companies involved?

Privacy isn’t free - if anyone should be in doubt.

Matrix is federated, private, and free…

What exactly did I make up? Were you hoping for a company to make a for-profit federated app?

You’re commenting on federated social media that you’re hoping some company will create a centralised chat app… Use a matrix client my dude.

Fedora is indeed mostly backed by a for-profit company, always was.

Pretty much every successful FOSS project is funded by for-profits, but that doesn’t change the fact non-profit companies have completely different goals and obligations.

Not sure about the rest of the rant

That explains why you think people don’t use Ubuntu because it’s for noobs. They’re undoubtedly the scummiest distro since Novell-SUSE.

Yeah because fedora is made by a for-profit company that’s helping Microsoft EEE Linux, has sold user data to Amazon, shows ads in the terminal, collects contact info from Azure so the marketing team can upsell you, and hijacks established commands to trick you into using their package manager which slows down boot times with every package installed, oh wait…

Answer to both 1 and 2: start with an Emacs “distro” like Doom Emacs or Spacemacs. Starting from scratch as a beginner is a surefire way to quit.
