@MastodonEngineering If I did not have a career I really enjoy, I would definitely apply!

@MastodonEngineering

In the job description this is good: "Some knowledge or projects in digital accessibility and disability inclusion."

How about something similar specifically with regard to moderation tools and dealing with online hate?

@CartyBoston Those are more relevant to the backend/web work, and are a specific topic we look for when interviewing people for those positions.
They are less relevant for a mobile app, so we did not include those, but are topics that we keep an eye on and discuss during the interviews.

@MastodonEngineering consider saving some bucks to hire someone to improve the moderation tools 💰

@MastodonEngineering
The people I know who might be interested want to help with things like improving moderation capability, user ability to control replies, and such that have been loudly requested to decrease harassment.
But this like looks like the desire here is mainly to add mobile app features, is that right?

@MastodonEngineering I love the way you phrased that " requires an overlap with the CET timezone." That way you're open to people elsewhere who're willing to make the decision about their working hours, even if they aren't standard hours for their timezone of residence. smart.

@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 ◡̈

@MastodonEngineering looks interesting, but I (and my of my friends I would recommend) unfortunately fall outside of the 4-hour window for CET

@MastodonEngineering At least you're using Swift and Apple Frameworks on iOS... You should use Kotlin and Google libraries on Android as well.

@bladecoder @MastodonEngineering The main developer is known to have an issue with Kotlin and Google technologies in general: github.com/mastodon/mastodon-a
It's a shame, if you ask me, but in the end it all boils down to a matter of taste and preference. They are making their life harder and cutting themselves off some great potential candidates

@Xzan @MastodonEngineering I talked to him a bit in the past and he was very opinionated about this. I'm sure he would be happy to write everything in assembly code if he could and would not see any problem about it.
He seems to be the opposite of a team player which is a pity for an open social network like Mastodon.

@MastodonEngineering teo things:

1.

Is there a way to apply without providing data to a corporation with inacceptable ToS? (In this case, Google).


2.

You didn't resolve the 2nd * at the bottom...
