We’re also looking ahead to what comes next. In another blog post published today, we introduced Mastodon’s new leadership team. Our Executive Director is 
@mellifluousboxFelix Hlatky (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.

This important milestone also marks the beginning of a new era of community governance and collaborative decision-making for Mastodon. Now more than ever, we need to work together to build safe and resilient social spaces. We must build information networks that are resistant to billionaire control and surveillance. It will take all of us working together to do that.
So please consider joining our mission; we have a lot of work to do.
