    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.

        Lemmy is the world’s only necrocracy, after the rogue state of North Korea

        Lemmy will remain a vital Marxist-Leninist masterpiece.

      It’s just 2 programmers from what I’m aware. When you go to donate they say that the goal is 5000€/month, but they usually fall drastically short of that.

    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.
