Mozilla not having an official presence on Mastodon/Fediverse (except the Nightly dev account) while also promoting a Substack blog is... a choice.

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.

It is absolutely not that big donors on the left are unaware of it. They’ve been told for a very long time by a lot of people, but generally have no interest in funding media.
