Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @Gargron as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the German non-profit, am a co-founder of the US 501c3 non-profit, and I have contributed to most of the fundraising success, which allowed us to expand the team.

Hi Felix,
pleased to neet you, Felix.
Congrats for the promotion.
Sounds like you earned it.
Congratulations on your new journey, Felix. You seem to be a smart, kind, and thoughtful person. That evokes a feeling of trust in me.
I love the fedi and volunteer as a moderator. I care deeply about it. So I’m keen to see how you move things forward.
Please always remember your words: “I promise to always put the humans here first and to keep this a safe space for you.” If you do that, you’ll do great.
