Sharing some professional news: I've joined Mastodon full-time as Head of Communications! After freelancing with the project since 2023, I'm excited to bring my experience in open source and community to help tell the story of the Fediverse. Read more on my blog.
Ready for our aperitivo at #IJF25 - with some news and chat about Mastodon for journalists and newsrooms. Come hear from me, @npub10gcu...0m2k and @npub147qe...9ny3 and our friends from #SaveSocial @npub1mf69...g967 #MastodonAtIJF
I know some of you cool cats are like me and still use Last.FM for music scrobbling (I also love Libre.FM, FWIW); I made a widget for Glance that shows recently played tracks. PR here.
Huge respect for @npub1dvxe...gems for cancelling #fediforum and taking time to reflect, listen and learn. I'm really sad that we didn't get the event this time, but there has been a good discussion around the issues and future opportunities.
I am back from Austin and it's my birthday today! If you wish to support my work I have a ko-fi thingy I'll link to here (I've been *mostly* living off savings πΈ for the past βΌ2.5 years; I'm grateful to be back in a full-time role from this month, working on something I care deeply about). Otherwise, do me a birthday favour and do what I strive to: listen, have empathy, & be good to others in this world. I appreciate the friends I've made in communities online π
