@Gargron Congrats and Thanks for everything.

@Gargron the world thanks you... At least ..the thinking members of it do ..

@Gargron and we cannot thank you enough for this sir!

@Gargron

... and the in the spirit of Steve Jobs, you helped changed the world...

@Gargron well you certainly went about making a difference.

We can discuss the scale of that difference, but Mastodon is a brick in bulwark of democratisation of the internet

@Gargron Thank you! 🤗 Take care and all the best for what's waiting in the future.

@Gargron the important thing is: did you have fun?

@Gargron glad you did it, thanks so much!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Gargron thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to creating a better social media experience

@Gargron And we are you thankful everyday :keanu_thanks: :cat_hug_triangle:

@Gargron 🙏

@Gargron thank you, you’ve made the world a better place

@Gargron

wait until eight years from now because there may be time travel for social reasons only

@Gargron and now you're the Linus of social media :blobcatthinkowo:

@Gargron
Thank you for all your work. Great job!

@Gargron

On behalf of myself and no one else since l can barely speak for myself most days much less anyone else, the deepest of thanks and most heartfelt gratitude for your efforts.

I’m thankful this place is here as an island promoting community and conversation and connection in an ocean of conflict, controversy, and isolation.

@Gargron Bravo! Well done

@Gargron Congratuations and Bravo! 👏 👏 🥳 🎉

@Gargron
Thank you for all your hard work. You've built something great here, and it arrived at a time when society desperately needed it.

@Gargron
And now you're 91! 😁

@Gargron wait, this site has been around for almost a decade? holy shit, i slept on this platform for way too long

@Gargron What will you do with the billions of dollars that creating this platform will surely have yielded you? A yacht? A Hawaiian island? Some rockets?

Thanks for doing it. I use your software every day.

@Gargron

Well done.

@Gargron thank you

@Gargron

@Gargron thank you and I really appreciate it.

@Gargron Did it take 8 years to develop or are you talking about building the company or other projects which came out of mastodon?

@Gargron Congratulations!

@Gargron thank you!

@Gargron thank you

@Gargron just joined your platform yesterday. Thank you for your work and effort in maintaining the app. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors. :mastodon: :mastodon: :mastodon:

@Gargron vielen Dank und herzlichen Glückwunsch, es ist so gut geworden 💚

@Gargron In chess, we’d call that a brilliant move! :StrattzrExcited:

@Gargron congrats on the anniversary 🎉

@Gargron

thanks; I enjoy it much.

@Gargron Thank you for all the work

@Gargron @wild1145 Thanks for all the effort and the resulting end product that so many people enjoy! You should be rightfully proud of this achievement.

@Gargron Thank you!

@Gargron Thank you! Weird question, do you think it's possible to create a Fediverse alternative to TikTok? In case it gets banned or sold to fascist billionaires, it would be great if we still had something the US Govt and right wing billionaires couldn't control in that medium.

@Gargron Congratulations, Eugen!

So many wonderful things happen when we have no idea what we're getting into. If we'd known, we might not have done it; but it seemed worth doing so we began.

Days, months, years later... It was hard but worth it.

@Gargron thank you, Eugen.

@Gargron Danke, you've created a fantastic place!🙏🏽❤️

@Gargron Masochist.

@Gargron

Grazie e non vedo l'ora che arrivino i prossimi 8 anni.

#DasLebenistbunt

@Gargron so glad you started it! I love this place!

@Gargron Some days I think we treat software development far too cavalierly. This stuff can be dangerous! It can completely change the path of your life if you are not careful.

@Gargron Danke.

@Gargron I saw the “I was 23” and immediately my mind went to “Been spending most our lives living in a Mastodon paradise.”

@Gargron And you are greatly appreciated.

@Gargron Thank you for all your efforts! Mastodon Rocks!

@Gargron Thank you so much for 8 years of incredibly hard work and perseverance on Mastodon. This project challenges all the walled gardens that the social media landscape is right now and liberates the way we can connect with each other. Thank you for that.

@Gargron congratulations & many thanks ! 🙏 8️⃣ 🍰 ⭐

@Gargron 👏✨ keep going!

@Gargron
Amazing & thank you for getting this ball rolling & keeping it growing & thank you to everyone who joined in the work to make sure this all works.

@Gargron Thank you very much for your hard work 🥰

@Gargron ah, by the way, thanks chum!

@Gargron Thank you for your great vision and hard work making Mastodon what it is today! 👍

@Gargron Well done! You deserve all the plaudits & success you're having. Carry on the good works Eugen!

@Gargron congratulations 🥳 my safer place is here! Thank you 😊

@Gargron congratulations 🎈 (I think?). And thank you!
