That’s sad to see, but completely understandable. Basically, he’s not a sociopath, and people in his role are treated like sociopaths. I can definitely see how that would wear you down a lot. I hope he can stay strong through whatever hate he might receive over this, and I honestly wish him well. He and I see eye to eye on a lot of things, so I’ve always valued his direction in the fediverse.

A very honest & well written goodbye - I wish him the best

I wish him well

Good blog post - He's a smart one :)

And the Fediverse continues unabated. That's the beauty of it.

Oh good, maybe the replacement won't block features like searching ffs

While it might be a tough decision, I wholeheartedly welcome it.

Community-driven projects should be managed by the community, and I fully trust the Mastodon nonprofit to lead this part of the Fediverse into the future.

Good luck on this new stage, Eugen. And congratulations to all Mastodon users.
