@Gargron an incredibly astute decision. Being a CEO can be horrendously stressful. Doubly so for something that has gone through such remarkable developments as #Mastodon. Being close to the product is a great place to be, and can offer personal growth opportunities to work with a CEO closely.

You will both have to learn to trust one another as partners. A good CEO will understand that and be part of that evolution.

Remember you are the founder. That is forever a special role.
