Mozilla should make Fakepost source code open-source so that people (with right hardware) can self-host it.
Seriously. If they’re not even interested in making money off it anymore then why not?
What a terrible day to hear about Fakespot for the first time :(
I understand retiring Pocket after a long, long run.
But what’s up with ending FakeSpot? They just bought that. They spent an undisclosed amount of money and are now abandoning it.
Is the FakeSpot shuttering a sign of money totally wasted, or should I be concerned that the FakeSpot TOS allowed them to sell user data (specifically in the event of an acquisition) right before the Mozilla acquisition?
Sucks, these were both somewhat useful services (pocket particularly)
I kind of liked visiting https://getpocket.com/explore just to read some of the stories they had posted there, but oh well.
Is Mozilla on its last legs?
EDIT: a more highbrow alternative to the pocket explore articles is Arts & Letters Daily.
