     @runoutgroover Exactly. They never even tried. Vivaldi called them out on it a few times, too.

     @MediaActivist 270 ish active users? They didn’t really light a fire under it did they. (I just checked and vivaldi.social, for contrast, seems to have 6.1K active users)

     @runoutgroover I agree. They have long been perceived as open source advocates and a counterbalance to a lot of "big tech" threats, but there have been so many increasing dismissals of that image recently that are becoming hard to ignore, and on top of those, Mozilla have done little to have us retain faith in them and argue the case as effectively as in the past. So disappointing.

     @MediaActivist Feels like a missed opportunity. If they’d made an effort they might have had the institutional ballast to create a counterweight to .social
