Just a quick comparison between @Vivaldi and @mozilla Mastodon profiles.
Vivaldi vs Mozilla
- 3000+ vs 87 posts
- 21 vs 14 months old
- ~ 21 thousand vs ~ 29 thousand followers
The last revenue of Mozilla that I found is of the order of USD 400+ million, while Vivaldi Technologies seems to have 10 to 100 times less on revenue. And Vivaldi browser has direct integration with Mastodon.
Quite intriguing.
Mozilla's instance was never a project. I think we can't even call it an experiment. At most a joke.
