Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.

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?

If it’s open source how easy will it be for others then to game the system?

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.

What a terrible day to hear about Fakespot for the first time :(
