@eniatitova thank you for noticing. Most of our team is primarily located in Europe but we want to keep this flexible as a remote-only org ◡̈

We are pretty fortunate to have so many great developers apply to us directly, thanks to such a strong community and network.

Thanks to everyone who shared our recent opening for an #iOS Developer - we received some strong applications!

I worked in multiple startups where recruiting for #tech #talent was a BIG PAIN so just taking a moment to appreciate the state of things @Mastodon.

P.S. In case you missed it, here's more info on our latest opening:

Politics aside, I am truly impressed by the power of the #Mastodon network:

$250,000+ raised from Mastodon users for VP Harris in 2 days!

Just let that sink in.

The initiative was started by @heidilifeldman and the story covered by @Shakludanto here:

Wow. A lot's been happening behind the @Mastodon scenes.

We have finally established a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity in the United States and announced the Board of Directors governing this newly formed entity!

Congrats @mellifluousbox @alshafei @karienbez @biz and Amir Ghavi.

Thank you for your effort and time, very exciting developments ahead!

Finally caught up on @mike’s #dotsocial podcast episode with @Gargron on the state of the #fediverse.

Loved this quote from Mike:
“You’ve managed to achieve a paradigm shift in how social media works that is inescapable.”

Worth a listen if you haven’t yet!
