We've had over 1.3K candidates apply to the 3 open positions at Mastodon so far, which is very exciting, but getting through them as such a small team is taking its time. Getting somewhere though!

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.

I know that there's been intermittent stability issues with mastodon.social and mastodon.online recently. We're working on improving our infrastructure to address this.

@Gargron Hey 👋🏼 I love your content, but I am highly allergic to cathair and therefore do not enjoy the cat content. Is there any chance u bring the cat content on another account?

@Gargron I'm not so sure about food that requires one to keep Pepto-Bismol so closely on hand. mastodon.social, mastodon.online and joinmastodon.org were hit by a DDoS yesterday, thankfully joinmastodon.org was already behind Fastly so it didn't have any impact on it. We've now moved mastodon.online behind Fastly and will do the same with mastodon.social soon.

@Gargron just saying… our firm has been working with @cloudflare for quite some time and they’re absolutely amazing. A number of folks have reached out to us over the past few months asking how they could help Mastodon out. Unfortunately, we haven't had the capacity to accept those kind offers at the time. If you're interested in getting involved as a volunteer, please fill out this form (and share it around!) so we know who could help with what. (There is plenty that needs doing!)

@Gargron Ich fange niemals an, Fragebogen auszufüllen, wenn ich sie nicht vor dem ersten Ankreuzen/Einsetzen etc. GANZ sehen kann. I believe mastodon.social might be under a DDoS attack currently, investigating. Sorry for the inconvenience!

There are over 700 applications for the open positions at Mastodon. Thankfully we're now joined by @inganomads to help us with the hiring process. And Claire is now full-time!

@Gargron @inganomads If you ever need a #writer , with nearly 30 years experience (United Nations, TV, etc…) I hope you’ll keep me in mind 🙏🏼✨ @Gargron @inganomads I suppose you have to pass the Israel test and the Ukraine test if you want in. @Gargron @inganomads That's good to hear! 👍 An update: http://sinetti.com/Mastodon/samiseppo_applies_for.html ...for a co-operative partnership/job at/with #Mastodon was rejected for now. This current feed works as a constantly continuing "CV" for any additional approaches in the future. Perhaps I'll do certain updates in a form of blog too.

Options are good, but honestly after trying #Ivory for a few days, I don't understand the hype I'm hearing in my feed. In my eyes, it's just not any better than the official free #Mastodon client, which is absolutely great on iOS. Thanks @Gargron for the great iOS app, and looking forward to watch it evolve! In the meantime, I'll send you the money I saved on Ivory.

Next update of our iOS app will have home screen widgets (among other things)! It’s not a super crucial thing but I’m looking forward to it.

@Gargron @Gargron bruh in my case I always being g hosted submitted so many applications. Mastodon bumps up the active user count when a user logs on, including right after sign up. I’m not surprised the monthly active user number is coming down a bit, there’s no service out there that has 100% retention on new sign ups.

@Gargron absolutely. The narrative about users fleeing is foolish. https://initialcharge.net/2023/01/mastodon-active-user-number-narrative/ I don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.

@Gargron I like them, because I like to agree and expand upon someone’s post. If I read theirs and then make my own based on theirs it’s like I’m stealing their ideas and that makes me uncomfortable.

@Gargron Good luck with that. Kubernetes is a pain in the arse
@Gargron like many things about mastodon I have no damn idea what that means
@Gargron that’s cool! But why are you posting literally hundreds of animal messages in a row? Is that necessary?
I am asking for tree lovers! You know, people who like trees more than animals? Never heard of that? See! We need to talk!
