Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mellifluousbox/115569615176946969

I am passing the torch to @mellifluousboxFelix Hlatky, who will be the new Executive Director. Felix has been involved with #Mastodon since 2020 and has been instrumental in evolving the organization, raising funds, and growing the team to get us to where we are now. With @haubleshannah aubry and @renchapRenaud Chaput by his side, and the team we have assembled over the years, I have faith that the new leadership will do a stellar job.
