Hi there,
In the last update which was sent in July I announced there will be quarterly updates from then on, so here's the next one. The last three months were quiet, with a couple of new users on the Drum (welcome!) bringing the total number of accounts to just above 260, of which half are actually active. Our moderation team handled 19 reports, with 15 account suspensions and 4 account limitations. A thank you for their effort!
On a technical note, the 4.3 release of the mastodon server software should arrive somewhere this or next week. After some thorough testing, it will be rolled out of course. I'll announce more of that at a later point.
Financially, you guys keep surprising me. These are the numbers for the last quarter:
