@Gargron hang in there! (And get help, this is only the beginning I fear)

@Gargron Thank you!

@Gargron vielen Dank

@Gargron Your work is highly appreciated by all newbies!

@Gargron Still you're doing a marvellous job and acceptance by mainstream's always temporary. Focus on your own people with this influx of twitter 'refugees'.

@Gargron I can imagine. Can we, the users, help you with anything?

@Gargron sorry:( but thank you for what you do!

@Gargron Relax. Breathe. And know that we are with you.

@Gargron I’ve really only been here a day, but I’d like you to know that I appreciate your work. I’m amazed at what’s happening here. I hope you can find time for yourself and take a break once in a while - though I fear things will get both harder and better before they get easier and better.

@Gargron Take care!

@Gargron Hang in there! You are a force of good. It’s on us to keep you going on all fronts.

@Gargron I know Mastodon has always had a small set of developers with you doing the bulk of it. Is that for lack of volunteers, or do you prefer it that way? Either way, this might be a good time to revisit/explore ways to spread the load without compromising what got it to this point.

@Gargron It is very much appreciated, but: alle denken nur an sich, keiner denkt an mich! You need to be good to yourself (nobody else will be able to do that), even if it means some things happen a bit slower. It’s hard, but I have the mental and emotional scars to show that burnout is not a desirable outcome.
I don’t know if there’s something relative newcomers like myself can do to help…?

@Gargron Thanks! I can’t wait to see what’s next for Mastadon.

@Gargron
thank you

thank you !!

@Gargron My dear, you are giving birth to an elephant, that's not gonna be easy! It takes a major person to create something major. Just pace yourself. And THANK YOU for this major new platform you've created, I for one am so grateful.

@Gargron TYVM. But please, take some rest.

@Gargron thank you so much for all your effort!

@Gargron How can we support you best?

@Gargron Thank you so much for everything you do! Could you please send info on how to donate again? Maybe you can employ someone to share your workload.
Take care of yourself please ☼
