The trouble with relying on each community to self-host is that it's unlikely to ever make it to the masses that way. Self-hosting is a significant barrier.

I don't think Nostr can take on Discord. A big part of Discord is the voice chat channels, which, as far as I know, Nostr just isn't built for.
They do. Well, I should say Thunderbird is also under the Foundation, but is developed by a separate subsidiary Corp (MZLA Tech Corp) than Firefox (Mozilla Corp).
He was CEO briefly, until the controversy over his appointment got loud enough. It makes sense he would've been paid the most that year, especially with the golden parachute CEOs get when they leave.
His appointment remains one of the most damaging events in Mozilla's history, as it led to the resignation of multiple prior leaders (including previous CEOs). Making him CEO might've been Mitch Baker's worst decision as chairwoman.
If only there were a search index I thought was still good.
Mojeek (UK-based) is trying. I wasn't super impressed by their index yet, though.
If you look at the kwebkitpart commits, it looks like it's been nothing but localization for years.
Konqueror is more or less dead as a browser. I don't even think kwebkitpart is maintained anymore since QtWebkit was abandoned with Qt6.
I would love to have a color epaper display option on a machine like this.
They weren't trying to generate electricity in this experiment. They were trying to sustain a reaction. As you said in another comment, they are different problems.
Converting heat to electricity is a problem we already understand pretty well since we've been doing it basically the same way since the first power plant fired up. Sustaining a fusion reaction is a problem we've barely started figuring out.

Chromium is code that Mozilla is not familiar with and has a reputation for being poorly documented.
A fully divergent fork isn't likely to make development any easier for Mozilla. And a soft fork puts them at the whims of Google's development decisions. If Mozilla needs to pivot, joining with WebKit seems the more feasible option, though that would also likely be a battle to keep a Windows port maintained.
