I haven’t had much time to post because the last 3 months have been absolutely wild in terms of workload. But I’m very excited about how this platform is growing.

@Gargron We appreciate you for your hard work John Mastodon!

@Gargron Workload on Mastodon, or do you have other work?

Thomas Ricouard

@Gargron but then when you have the time, there is this super nice feeling of using the stuff you built to actually post. This is a great feeling! And it never get old for me.

Michael Mrak

@Gargron thank You so much. You are pushing the relevance of the #fediverse. Its no longer a niche platform 👍

@Gargron
How are you raising funds?
I feel like people would be willing to help out if asked.

Francisca Sinn

@Gargron Thank you for your vision and perseverance.

@Gargron
If the whole thing doesn't continue to grow in terms of exclusion & differentiation from other opinions, then I'm happy to agree with you! @Gargron
Wenn das Ganze nicht weiter wächst an Ausgrenzung & Abgrenzung von anderen Meinungen, dann bin ich gerne deiner Ansicht! @Gargron

@Gargron We grow so fast, you can leave us alone at home sometimes 👶😉

Joanna Czechowska

@Gargron It's hard to judge its success at the moment. Press articles still only have the Facebook and Twitter symbols on them.

@Gargron We migrants are grateful for this refuge full of adults.

@Gargron And I'll bet you're actually consulting with other knowledgeable coders, rather than just saying, "Do what I demand! Stat!" Cool.

@Gargron you’re doing an amazing job congrats, and I hope you can take some rest

@Gargron
Try promoting other instances to have less work

@Gargron How can us engineers with spare time help?

Jaanus Kase

@Gargron thank you for all you do. You and Mastodon have done well. There is lots more work ahead, but you are of course well aware of it.

Please look after yourself and your team, and make sure everyone is in good mental and physical health. That is 100x more important than any single Mastodon work item could ever be.

Henrik Nyh

@Gargron Just seeing the occasional boosted #catsofmastodon toot gives confidence that we’re in good hands :) Thank you for your hard work!

John Samuel

@Gargron This is a surprise. I have been here for more than three years. I posted here three times more during the last three months than during the previous three years.

@Gargron how’s the migration to fastly going?

@Gargron Translation for those not in the know:

Eugen has been very busy helping #JohnMastodon train and level up his powers after the recent influx of new members, but soon John will be strong enough to continue as planned.

@Gargron
Yes it is very pleasant but in some ways a bit too pleasant (or quiet)... Herein lies my major concern - I haven't done any of my own posts for a while as it has felt a bit like talking to myself (especially when not boosted).
Some sort of easily accessible VIEW COUNT would resolve or confirm my concerns..
Cheers and Good luck

@Gargron reading all your good work in the latest release notes was really heartening ☺️ you really are quite the inspiration (as noted already earlier 😄 mastodon.au/@Heliograph/109848 )

Jamon Bull

@Gargron Thank you for all you’re doing. You’re making a lot of people feel at home and happy.

Jeremy Burge

@Gargron yes but can we go back to calling them Toots

DELETED

@Gargron

Me, too.

I heard there are plans to make the maximum number of characters in a posting configurable via the admin console (rather than editing individual files).

Is that the case?

tbgosalvez

@Gargron oh don't worry about posting so often. we're a lot less needy here.

@Gargron we are in,,it's funnier here I love it

Chris Wu :toucan:

@Gargron appreciate you! I’ve really enjoyed my time here since I started using Mastodon.

Exile

@Gargron
More work, less posting. Hmmmmm... that's the opposite of "that other guy" LOL

We're extremely lucky!❤

Zee

@Gargron is there a way to schedule mutes for specific people on specific days?

I’d hate to mute #Caturday posts from everyone- just those individuals who find time to machine-gun #spam a timeline with more than- say 3- 4- even 5 cat pics at a time.

Like what you did yesterday.

You don’t need to post them all. Leave some for other people to post

Ariaflame

@Gargron Do take some time to relax and recuperate.

@sgt.bsky.social

@Gargron Thanks! Keep up the good work, really like what you've done with the platform.

Chæfkadse

@Gargron thank you for being so passionate and motivated about Mastodon.

Allow me an additional personal note:
I had an ... interesting ... evening thanks to your boost. It was funny to see how a toot reaches people and how much difference boosts make, how important they are.
So thank you very much.

@SpiritofRavens

Crowjane

@Gargron
As are we. Many thanks for your work and many thanks to all the admins running so many awesome instances.

Garvin Hicking

@Gargron you can and should feel very proud. It is a huge push forward and Mastodon is a great door opener for the idea of the fediverse. Looking forward to seeing it evolve!

@Gargron Thank you for providing photographers with a fun space. We really appreciate it.

Amber Grey

@Gargron Mastodon has allowed me to feel safe to really be more social and chatty than I’ve been in many years. Grateful for this platform.💜

@Gargron Can't wait to hear more as well as posting more myself. 👍
