Can’t fault them. I went through three different instances, one because I disagreed with some of their policies, I don’t remember why I left the second one, I want to say it was technical issues but I honestly don’t remember. Then the third one got closed down because the owner had IRL issues they needed to take care of. Also that instance was on some defederation list because some mod from a large instance had an argument with a mod on my instance.

Ultimately I ran my own solo instance for a while but lost interest eventually. Mastodon is frankly a shitshow and as long as it stays like that, federation or not makes it just a slightly worse twitter, just with some mods taking the role of Elmo instead.

Not particularly. The exploit requires ring 0 access, if an attacker managed to get that, you are screwed already.

Screw the mozilla foundation. My only hope at this point is that Ladybird or one of the other projects produces something viable one of these days.

Frankly that’s about the only plausible customer base I could see for that.

They seem to have 0 clue what they are “explaining “ though. I don’t know if those engineers are overworked or how (in)competent they are, I don’t even use telegram. But they apparently do have other non-engineering people on staff and content moderation and dealing with legal issues aren’t the job of an engineering team.

Idk I still hope a Servo-based browser somehow materializes itself someday, but if/when that happens, who knows.
