Mastodon powers over 9,000 different fediverse servers and is used by around a million people every month, but did you know the core engineering team is just two people? Well, I'm delighted to announce that now it's three people! Welcome to the team, @dave!
@Gargron @dave 1 million MAU requires 9000 servers? I really worry about the software stack (and $$ overhead) sometimes.
@obviousdwest @dave Mastodon is decentralized. Each server is operated by an independent organization or individual and can host anywhere from a single user to over a million people.
