There's a lot planned for 2023 in all areas of Mastodon development. Probably least important, but most fun is that we're working on fresh merch designs and I'm hoping to announce responsibly sourced merch in the new year.

@Gargron I misread that as mech, and was confused and surprised.

@Gargron I'm only just managing to catch up with everything, geez!

Lukas Brausch

@Gargron Is there already an official #Mastodon merch shop?

dan0h

@Gargron Looking forward to it! Might even snap up some merch! :D

@Gargron Sweet! Any plans for updates to the UX of federated interactions? I love the decentralized nature of Mastodon, but the UX of copying profile/toot URLs to follow, reply, etc. leaves a lot to be desired, and is definitely hurting mainstream adoption. Perhaps this is a small part where an opt-out centralized feature can be considered? Federated action buttons on all instances could lead to a default redirection server where you have to enter your own instance URL just once

@Gargron That sounds great, can't wait for the new updates...

Lyric, Destroyer of Worlds

@Gargron can I get a black t-shirt that reads 'toot' in plain white text

@Gargron How can a casual user support Mastodon devs financially? I'd love to support in any way possible, considering the heavy load.

Cosmo

@Gargron please give us more of what’s to come in 23 on the development side!

@Gargron

It is great you are looking for #responsibly_sourced merch. One of the many reasons why I like that you are a leader in #Mastodon and the #Fediverse

endeavorance

@Gargron obligated to request a merch design that is a few mastodon pals getting a drink at the Activity Pub.

finsox

@Gargron Which I could quote-toot my support for this.

Hoping that's an area of development for 2023.

@Gargron Any plan for redesign of the official Web UI/UX? The current Web interface has many flaws, it is not intuitive, it is not easy to use. I think this is a major impediment for Mastodon adoption.

@Gargron A shirt that's "Mastodon Purple" with just the logo on the front would be great.

Ahri Boy 🇺🇦

@Gargron looking forward to team up with Tumblr and Flickr

micropainter

@Gargron Ooooh, could we please have a t-shirt that says, "Mastolorians"?! (Mastodon + The Mandalorian + Delorean = coolest moniker)

@Gargron merch sounds great! will it be available everywhere? With reasonable shipping to other countries?

snarl

@Gargron i need a HOODIE. I need SHIRTS. I need a mastodon TATTOO. gimmegimme

ForeverLouiseBrooks

@Gargron How about a usable timeline? That would be nice to go with a Mastodon tee.

Alys [she/her]

@Gargron
I love that it will be responsibly sourced! Thank you!

Chiclet

@Gargron

First 100 orders will get their merch signed by John Mastodon.

@Gargron How about getting pics to download in less than 5 minutes. Most of the pics in my TL are either white screens or pixelated to the point of nonsense.

Eugen Rochko

@abbadon I think that’s a problem with nerdculture.de or your internet connection. Nothing I can help you with.

Crowjane

@Gargron
Fun is very important. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Escarpment

@Gargron Many thanks for all the great work so far!

Nelly Jane

@Gargron hopefully t shirts cut for women not men’s shirts sold as unisex … my body Is female not unisex please

mark parham

@Gargron keep up the good work you are doing a wonderful job so far

Jenda Vondra

@Gargron ... anything I can help you with Eugen in regards to visual possibilities and conceptual operation of Mathstodon ... just let me know

Daniel Villa

@Gargron not gonna lie I would buy a shirt 😅

𝒫𝒶𝓁𝒶𝒷𝓇𝒶 & 𝓋𝒾𝒹𝒶

@Gargron Me alegra por ello pero, que no sea la venta de mastodon a inversionistas que te ofrecen millones de dólares y se pierda la libertad e independencia y la descentralización.

Pensive™️

@Gargron
Ok, I’m lost.
Are any instances able to design and sell their own merch?
Is there a distribution of profits to individuals with servers?
I thought centralization was verboten?

DELETED

@Gargron looking forward to it. Hope with decent shipping prices - to Germany in my case. Thanks so much for your great work this year, your Standhaftigkeit (that Mastodon stays independent) and a happy new year!

Mark Atwood

@Gargron allow me to suggest importing history be prioritized? letting people bring their history will them will help encourage migration off of the silos

Victor Alexandre

@Gargron i wish you all the best for 2023 and thank you for making this space possible.

zbecker

@Gargron

Out of curiosity, is there performance or resource usage improvements planned.

Onidotmoe

@Gargron a blåhaj from ikea but a elephant instead

@Gargron Can't wait! Happy New Year to you :)

@Gargron

@Gargron
Sounds good 🤗.
A Happy New Year to you and Mastodon

@Gargron if you make a coffee mug, *please* make it microwave-safe! no shame in nuking leftover coffee...

Fluffgar - Chaotic-Creative

@Gargron
Feel like a federated network of smaller makers/distributors for merch would be appropriate. For Scotland can highly recommend Wild and Kind CIC in Glasgow.

Abhi...

@Gargron the only thing I want from mastodon is signal like encrypted DMs. Otherwise this platform is better than twitter in every aspect

Guido Drehsen

@Gargron looking forward for 2023, it had been quite some challenges in 2022. You and your team did a very good job in the further development of Mastodon.
All the best for you and your team in 2023.

WeavingWithAI

@Gargron how about quote-boost instead of merch? ;)

Futurist Jim Carroll

@Gargron

Can you make stickers I can put on my Tesla?

Sean Macツ

@Gargron
yay!
feature request would be translate automatically into a specific language along with translate on demand. like translate everything into english except french. would love my feed to just be in english & french.

John Castiglione

@Gargron just make it more like Twitter used to be. That’s what people want.

Adron 🤘🏻

@Gargron @The_KamikaZEN pretty stoked about that myself, curious what it is!
