      In the coming weeks, we'll be using this account to share a wider range of posts about what we're working on - events we're attending, updates from team members, and so on. You can also follow the core engineering team @MastodonEngineering and if you have an account on mastodon.social or mastodon.online (the two instances we operate) you can follow @staff

        You can also expect to see us sharing more about the project outside of the Fediverse (in places like LinkedIn or YouTube) - this is so that more people can hear about a better, decentralised and more user-oriented alternative to legacy platforms.

            @bazkie we appreciate the hesitation about those organisations, but we're hiring individuals and their experience, rather than the company they worked for in previous lives. There's a strong value alignment amongst the people in the team.

              @Mastodon This sounds just like the corporate spam I get from my employer… and they are paying me to ignore it. πŸ€”

                  @MisterMultiverse we're non-profit - to ensure that this remains the case, we're restructuring into a new governance structure. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/

                    @Mastodon i think this is great news! We need more people to know about mastodon. But. I worry about the things people have complained about in the past. Difficulty signing up, confusion around choosing a home instance, too many decisions having to be made in order to get started. and lastly, unfortunately, and unwelcoming user base.

                    I realize that some of this is out of your control. and some is human nature rather than a technical problem to solve. But i see a lot of folks try mastodon. and never even get past signup. Is there something that can be done there so that new users are not immediately turned off to the platform?

                      @gangrif thanks for these questions! We are working on it, and we're excited that some of the new folks on the core team bring fresh perspectives on these topics. We think we've made some improvements in the past couple of releases and we'll continue to do so.

                        @Mastodon It would make sense if by clicking on the author's name I could see the author's page or other articles written by the author

                          @Mastodon but currently, mastodon is by far to complicated. How will you go on fixing the huge usability shortcomings with finding people, finding posts, following people, reposting, reacting and stuff like this.
                          I mean you said you will share things outside the fediverse. But people clicking on shared things there will just notice the problem right away.

                            @Mastodon

                            Awesome! As a bit of feedback, since Mastodon is european, and roughly half of the users are european, it would be great to see more european posts/news/suggested accounts in the explore tabs. 😊

                              @lokjo great suggestion, will see whether this is something our mod and operation team can help with.

                                @fabiscafe thanks for this feedback. We've got a new designer joining soon, we have other new team members with additional perspectives. We've also been working on the Fediscovery project https://fediscovery.org to improve some of the things you mentioned. We're moving forwards!

                                  I wanted to open a usability-collection-issue on github listing all the currently known shortcommings. Do you think this is something worth doing at this point?

                                    @Mastodon To be honest, I really think that Mastodon should not have a prominent office in the US, but it should be clear to be a European entity under EU laws.

                                    With the US office in New York mentioned on the website as prominent as it is, I think might very well turn a lot of people who want a break from US tech away from using Mastodon.

                                      @AngelaScholder thank you, we're working on this with the new European non-profit that is being created right now. We do need to list the details of the US 501(c)(3) entity (which is for fundraising) on the site, but totally understand your point. Please stand by while the necessary processes are completed.

                                        @fabiscafe thank you so much for wanting to help! We have a lot of open issues, suggestions and discussions (as you can probably see on GitHub) so please look to see whether anything you want to open has already been created before logging something new.
