Our Founder, @Gargron@mastodon.social is stepping down from his position as CEO. He shared a reflection on his time building and growing Mastodon on our blog.
We want to take a moment to express the Mastodon teamβs deep gratitude and admiration for Eugen, and for the technology and community he has built here. Weβre thrilled heβs staying on in an advisory capacity.

Weβre also looking ahead to what comes next. In another blog post published today, we introduced Mastodonβs new leadership team. Our Executive Director is @mellifluousbox@mastodon.social (formerly, CFO of Mastodon gGmbH), who has already represented Mastodon on international stages.
We also shared an organisational update, and a fundraising update, in that blog post.

Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition.

The latest engineering (and whole team) update is here π
We've posted #TrunkAndTidbits for October.
It was a busy month, with a lot of coding behind the scenes to prepare for Mastodon 4.5, events and talks, Fediforum and our thoughts on packs, and some merch news. Have a read!

Weβre excited to release Mastodon 4.5 into the world! Arriving just a few months after the last release, this version brings the long-awaited Quote Posts feature, along with many other goodies. Hereβs a quick look (you should read our blog post for more!)

RE: https://actu.blois.fr/@villedeblois/115486831898803392
Welcome, @villedeblois@actu.blois.fr!
We are happy to help, and work with more cities or other civic organisations that want to join the Fediverse!
La Ville de Blois a dΓ©mΓ©nagΓ© sur une autre instance Mastodon : la sienne, blois.fr ! π
Si vous suiviez la Ville, vous Γͺtes au bon endroit et nβavez rien Γ faire : votre abonnement a dΓ©jΓ Γ©tΓ© mis Γ jour. (La magie
!)
3 ans jour pour jour aprΓ¨s son arrivΓ©e sur le fΓ©divers et prΓ¨s dβun millier de messages plus tard, cβest une suite logique, vers une toile plus libre.
Nous reviendrons sur ce changement. Merci Γ lβΓ©quipe de @Mastodon@mastodon.social pour lβaccompagnement (https://joinmastodon.org/fr/hosting) ! π
The Return of the #Plushtodon! (at the end of November, anyway...)

Public communications (via platforms like Mastodon) are much too important to be in the hands of a handful of commercial Big Tech companies. Our team continues to engage in active discussions on these topics. We aim to help media associations to diversify their distribution by encouraging them to join the Fediverse.
Good panel at "Healthy Online Info Spaces" by invitation of OSCE RFoM. Thanks @Nhelberger@someone.elses.computer for your remark during Q&A. We should connect with @manfredzielinski@mastodon.nl @marleenstikker@waag.social @koen@procolix.social @wsslmn@mastodon.nl next time we're in the Netherlands
