📢 March 2026 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

Dear members,

I hope everyone is doing well. The first two months of the year flew by, and I didn’t take the time to write my usual monthly announcements—my apologies.
I had to do the accounting for 2025, and it took me longer than expected, but it’s done! But before we look back at last year’s stats, let’s take a look at our server’s current ones.

📢 December 2025 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

Dear members,

This month is particularly intense for me so far, and I’m a little exhausted to be honest. I’m going to spend the holidays with my family and try to get some rest. I hope you also find time for yourself and your loved ones. But before that, here is December’s announcement, two weeks late. Better late than never!

📢 October 2025 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

Dear members,

I hope everyone is well. The leaves of the gorgeous Virginia creeper at the front of my studio have started to turn red, I have a runny nose, the weather is rainy, and some friends went mushroom picking at the weekend. There’s no doubt about it — autumn is here!

This month, I would like to share two special things with you. But first, let’s take a look at this month’s statistics.

📢 September 2025 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

Dear members,

September is already here, often synonymous with the end of summer vacation and preparations for going back to school or work.

This month, I have a small gift to thank our contributing members, without whom this instance would not exist! But let’s start as usual with the figures for the month.

📢 July 2025 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

After a few days hiking and camping with some friends in the Alps and Auvergne, and after taking my bearings on my new laptop—a second-hand Framework running Linux—following the death of my long-trusted 12-year-old MacBook Pro, I’m finally taking some time to write this month’s announcement.

📢 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

I hope you enjoyed your International Workers’ Day! I was at the demonstration in Strasbourg this morning; the weather was great, people were happy, and it did everyone a world of good!

Once again, I didn’t find the time to write last month’s announcement, but I’ll try to get back into the habit of publishing them on the 1st of every month—if only the first day of every month was a public holiday like May… it would be so much easier! Well, here we go.

📢 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

I hope everyone is well, despite recent geopolitical events and the progressive rise of far-right movements in many of our societies.

February is already behind us, and I haven’t been able to find the time to write my monthly announcement. Let’s go for the March one!
