Moin! In letzter Zeit lese ich immer wieder von #Feditreffen. 🤔Könntest Du Dich grundsätzlich für sowas in #Kiel begeistern? 😃
Wen würde das noch interessieren? Nur mal so als grobe Abfrage, ob das 3, 30 oder 300 Menschen interessiert. 😬
Noch besser würde mir das übrigens in #Eckernförde passen. 😇 Da hatte ich mein erstes und einziges #Twittertreffen mit sehr lieben Menschen! War ein schöner Klönschnackabend. 😊

RE: mastodon.social/@mellifluousbo…
Congratulations, Felix (@mellifluousbox )! 🥳
And a huge thank you to @Gargron for all your incredible work. 👏
Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @Gargron as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the German non-profit, am a co-founder of the US 501c3 non-profit, and I have contributed to most of the fundraising success, which allowed us to expand the team.
