Technology should be more than a vehicle for profit. It should empower people to live more fulfilling lives. That's Mozilla's mission.
But Mozilla is also more than any group or product. It's a community of people working to make tech serve everyone, not just the shareholders of seven companies.
Technology should be more than a vehicle for profit. It should empower people to live more fulfilling lives. That's what Mozilla builds.
Make good tech the norm.
Stand up for a better internet.
We have the power and change doesn't happen unless people stand up, roll up their sleeves and do something about it. That's the message of the Mozilla Foundation and its wonderful director @nabiha.bsky.social

Exactly. Lots of people find speaking to a computer naturally and getting an understandable response is useful to many.
Denying that lots of people are using AI makes it *very* hard to have a real discussion about solutions to the problems these big AI platforms are creating.
When did we forget that we had power?
That the only way to change things was to DO SOMETHING to change it.
Let's imagine a hopeful future - and then go out and make it happen.
Ha! Yes, that is a concern. But we have spoken to a couple of Microsoft people and, so far, they have been gracious and supportive. Hopefully it remains that way.

Exchange/Microsoft365 account support built into Thunderbird now!
Thunderbird users have asked us for this for years and now it is here. Enjoy.
For nerds: the architecture built for this opens the door for JMAP support.

This post from @anildash.com perfectly encapsulates the disconnect in the discussion of AI.
Plenty of real people get value from interacting with LLMs. We can't afford to cede this technology to Profit-at-all-costs Big Tech.
They grow up so fast 😁

If you use products and services from companies that actively undermine what you value - can you truly claim to value those things? It's a hard question, but we live in a time where choices abound. Choose to live your principles.

Remember way back when the Web felt hopeful, and we all thought tech would bring us together in a beautiful deeply connected future? Turned out a little different, didn't it?
Tech now seems cynical and bleak. But we can choose tech that is both good and good for us.

We believe the future of technology can be good.
That’s why Mozilla Foundation is building a better technology future. One built with care, powered by people, open by design.
But we can’t do it alone.
Join us and let’s make some good.
