Thoughts on Mastodon: First impressions

But a great opportunity presented itself and I’ve decided to take a role at Kemper Insurance in their IT department. I’m really excited for this new challenge but I am absolutely crushed leaving everyone I’ve gotten to know over the years. I have had a chance to get to know so many folks through this role and I will cherish my time at this company. Many of you really had a massive impact on me and...
