Just got another flurry of shouty shouty mentions, replying to a post from several weeks ago, complaining about my lack of content warnings on “political” topics.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]
