The only thing you need to know about how Lemmings think about politics is that they bash Mozilla more than Google.

Does it matter that they don't run an instance?
As long as they have accounts and keep them up to date, that is the main thing.
How many open source projects actually run and moderate instances?

So how does not running a virtual soapbox that is niche and most do not care about affect the public's ability to participate in the internet from where they are?
I'm not sure if you didn't understand the point or are cherry picking words to satiate your feelings?

Are they still running a matrix instance?
So they aren't exiting the fediverse. The whole premise of the article is wrong.
I think "the Fediverse" is generally understood to refer to ActivityPub-based projects, or even more narrowly, "things that can be seen from Mastodon". At least I understood it as such, even if that's not technically correct.
Nah. Its federated services. Matrix is part I'd the fediverse. Email is too.

I don't get why, I can't see this be difficult or costly to run, but then again I have no clue, never ran a Mastodon instance.
I would assume that it's not worth the small reach compared to running X / Bluesky / Threads accounts but then again, like I said, the cost must be super small. 🤷

Mozilla 2012: We're winning the browser war and saving the web. You're welcome.
Mozilla 2017: Competing with Chrome is hard. What if we break all existing extensions and never let people replace them all?
Mozilla 2021: Through inclusiveness and the power of positive thinking we will facilitate leadership towards in-depth studies of what we can do to improve social media.
Mozilla 2024: Running a small mastodon instance is just too hard, we give up.
