From the original blog post in May 2023 by the Mozilla CPO, who previously worked at Microsoft, FB and Twitter in that order:
> Last year, we announced we’re dipping our toes into the world of Mastodon ... We’re making a long-term investment because we think we can contribute to making Mastodon, and social media generally, better.
So, long term would be about 18 months, and fedi comments suggest it was hosting less than 300 users in the end.
