My next chapter with Mastodon

The former CEO of Mastodon is stepping down after nearly 10 years, transferring ownership to the Mastodon non-profit to ensure the project remains true to its values. The CEO reflects on the challenges of leading a social media project, including stress and unrealistic expectations, and acknowledges the importance of saying 'no' to prevent the project from being pulled in too many directions. Despite the difficulties, the CEO is proud of Mastodon's growth and remains committed to the project in a more advisory role.
