What would be Mozilla's revenue model for instant messaging?
- glenstein 10mo ago[flagged]
- ethbr1 10mo agoAds? Nothing says you have to track users, if you're not looking to optimize ad monetization per user. And I daresay there are a fair number of companies who would love to get even blind exposure to Mozilla's userbase.
- pseudalopex 10mo agoWhy would people use Mozilla's app and not WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal, or others?
- ethbr1 10mo agoPrivacy, availability, popularity respectively.
- mikestorrent 10mo agoSignal is already ostensibly private, available, and popular enough, and doesn't have ads... why compete? IMO Mozilla should just double down on the browser and do everything they can to keep it as a lifeline for Free Software devices to be able to participate on the internet as first class citizens.
- fsflover 10mo agoSignal intentionally made their messaging rely on a single, central point of failure, perfect for targeting by all sorts of criminals and governments. If Mozilla provides a Matrix server, I will seriously consider it.
- account42 10mo agoThey could start acting like the nonprofit they are supposedly are instead of LARPing as silicon valley tech bros.
