@Mastodon #Annual #Report 2023 is finally published!

A little late in the year, you may think, but I'm so glad we've pushed through and made it happen just before the Christmas holidays, for all of you to enjoy!

A big shoutout goes to my report partner in crime @philipkristians and our designers @dopatwo and Pierre Vincent for such a great and timely collaboration!

As well as the rest of the team for their input, feedback, laser-eye proofreading & support throughout!

We believe the internet should be a place where everyone feels safe, respected and empowered to connect.

That’s why this Giving Tuesday we’re launching a campaign to fund a vital new role at Mastodon:

✨Trust & Safety Lead✨

With the recent U.S. elections and many changes to come, protecting our community has never been more important.

We officially kick off on *Tue, Dec 3rd* but if you’d like, you can make an impact today: https://givebutter.com/givingmastodon

Thank you for your support!

Look who’s made it all the way to Mexico City and straight to networking at the #Nerdearla2024 conference!

@Gargron @ErikUden this is great. And we can definitely add some instructions in the future, e.g. "To be hugged twice a day, tucked in at night. Please don't spill any coffee or tea on me, and don't bathe me." Haha

@eniatitova thank you for noticing. Most of our team is primarily located in Europe but we want to keep this flexible as a remote-only org ◡̈

We are pretty fortunate to have so many great developers apply to us directly, thanks to such a strong community and network.

Thanks to everyone who shared our recent opening for an #iOS Developer - we received some strong applications!

I worked in multiple startups where recruiting for #tech #talent was a BIG PAIN so just taking a moment to appreciate the state of things @Mastodon.

P.S. In case you missed it, here's more info on our latest opening:

Politics aside, I am truly impressed by the power of the #Mastodon network:

$250,000+ raised from Mastodon users for VP Harris in 2 days!

Just let that sink in.

The initiative was started by @heidilifeldman and the story covered by @Shakludanto here:
