So, this has been in the works for a while, arguably most of last year. I intend to transfer my personal ownership of the Mastodon trademarks and assets, incl. copyright over my code, to the Mastodon non-profit, and transition to a different role at the organization.
It is not easy, and I feel a lot of conflicting emotions writing about it, because Mastodon is so tightly intertwined with my identity and my sense of self-worth. I dedicated 8 years of my life to this cause that I care deeply about, in a role that you can never disconnect from.
Mastodon grew beyond any of my expectations. I have always tried to push myself out of my comfort zone and grow to new challenges, but it has taken its toll over time. The past 2 years especially have been overwhelming, and my mental and physical health have taken a dip.
I would like to focus on the things about Mastodon that I have passion for, in a new, more product-oriented role, while leaving the business side of things to a new CEO. This is not immediate and will likely occur within the next 2-3 months.
@Gargron
How do I apply for the job of Chief Shitposting Officer?
@the_etrain You were meant for this! Your work speaks for itself!
@shinobiken
I just hope the pay is there. Gonna need group health too.
@the_etrain It is always a tricky negotiation to move from volunteer to paid position, even with such an impressive record of wins.
That said, we all look to you. And when you are successful, we will know it can be done.
@the_etrain @Gargron dress for the job you want
