I am excited to share that @tobiaseigen has stepped into the role of Community Manager here on Meta.
Those who have been here for a while know Tobias as somebody who has been a daily contributor to this community for many years. He has been part of Team Discourse since 2020 and we’re rapt that he’s going to be more formally “in charge” of this amazing community.
As before, report any issues directly using the flagging system or by reaching out to @moderators group where a member of our moderator team will respond.
Tobias will be at the CMX summit this year. If you are there, be sure to let him know!
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome in my new role!
I see what you did there. I’ll give it my best!
Hawk has been co-CEO of Discourse for a number of years, and has never been community manager that I can recall. COO before that. Though has tons of community manager know-how and will be a great mentor to me! And, like many of us, hangs out on meta answering questions and handling flags, etc.
Good question! I’m aware the program has been quiet lately and will be looking into it.
I had forgotten already! Thank you for the reminder 
!!!
