Look, I have a new pin, and it's Mastodon!
Yes, it's getting out of hand. Yes, I'll continue adding more.
really, really impressed with posty: a mastodon archive -> html static site generator
it ingests your mastodon archive (post history) as a zip, and barfs out an entire static html site with indices and tags. all servable with any standard web server.
this is super helpful because when i shut down the dialup.cafe instance, there was no easy way to get access to my old posts and images.
it can either be run online here:

or instructions here for running it locally:

Thank you for everything
@Gargron@mastodon.social thank you, for indeed "The #fediverse (i.e. #Mastodon) is an island within an increasingly dystopian capitalist hellscape." Letting go of your baby is never easy, and I, like many, wish you well!
You are correct that #Mastodon and #Fediverse success has lifted a huge responsibility to "sanitize" what is the internet today.
Can I ask if you personally have a desire to advocate for a foundation type of organization that will work as a Non Government organization and lend your expirience and all the people who have worked around the Fediverse and FOSS, in order to create better legislation? Have you spoke about this before and I missed it?

I am passing the torch to @mellifluousbox@mastodon.social who will be the new Executive Director. Felix has been involved with #Mastodon since 2020 and has been instrumental in evolving the organization, raising funds, and growing the team to get us to where we are now. With @haubles@hachyderm.io and @renchap@oisaur.com by his side, and the team we have assembled over the years, I have faith that the new leadership will do a stellar job.
Thanks Eugen. You have delivered a tool that opened a window to return to the original intention of the Internet.
Your focus on decentralisation brought thousands of communities the ability to communicate safely. Among themselves or in connection to others.
The Fediverse wouldn't be where it is now without your tenacity and focus to bring Mastodon to where it is now.
You have the respect and gratitude of many.

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 intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.
