    The next post is more interesting https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/the-future-is-ours-to-build-together/

    I’m not quite sure how to feel about Eugene’s 1M€ payday. I don’t think it’s underserved but it’s also 3 whole years of community donations.

    I’m also worried that Mastodon is growing in ways that isn’t really sustainable without philanthrops like Jeff Atwood (the stack overflow guy).

      bang-on. given he’s going to continue working on the project, the payday I’m a bit dubious of.

      EDIT: honestly it continues to back up the opinion i’ve had of Eugen’s leading of mastodon for a long time. dubious, i wish he’d focus less on growth, but ultimately we could have done so much worse with our BDFL (well, not so much for life anymore lol)

                I think we ought to be considering what happens to lemmy should @dessalines@lemmy.ml move on. Especially considering the most obvious next in line is a transphobei
