Quoting Amelia from the @Mastodon team this week:

"Other companies do this to make themselves richer. We do it to make the internet richer.”

She couldn't have summarised it better!

Recruitment update @Mastodon:

We are pausing applications for our Front-end Developer role.

We've received 221 applications so far - 35% of which are still active in our pipeline.

There are new applications we haven't screened yet and a larger proportion of candidates on hold.

This is because we have now completed our 1st batch of intro calls and selected a handful of candidates for the next stage - our technical screening.

We'll be in touch when we have more updates!

Last week, during the Quarterly All-Team call, I asked our team members to *capture @Mastodon in 2024* on one slide.

This ↓ was the result!

As you can see, #Plushtodon ruled the way.

Thank you for joining and for your contributions, @Gargron, @mellifluousbox, @philipkristians, @Claire, @dave, @grishka, @whattherestimefor, @andypiper, Tim and Amelia! Next year we'll need a bigger slide ◡̈

@Mastodon #Annual #Report 2023 is finally published!

A little late in the year, you may think, but I'm so glad we've pushed through and made it happen just before the Christmas holidays, for all of you to enjoy!

A big shoutout goes to my report partner in crime @philipkristians and our designers @dopatwo and Pierre Vincent for such a great and timely collaboration!

As well as the rest of the team for their input, feedback, laser-eye proofreading & support throughout!

We believe the internet should be a place where everyone feels safe, respected and empowered to connect.

That’s why this Giving Tuesday we’re launching a campaign to fund a vital new role at Mastodon:

✨Trust & Safety Lead✨

With the recent U.S. elections and many changes to come, protecting our community has never been more important.

We officially kick off on *Tue, Dec 3rd* but if you’d like, you can make an impact today: https://givebutter.com/givingmastodon

Thank you for your support!

Look who’s made it all the way to Mexico City and straight to networking at #Nerdearla2024 conference with @redondos!

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:

#FediHire

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:
