Tech people love to say that they don't need passkeys, and then immediately copy and paste their password from their password manager into `g00gle.com` because they 'don't trust autofill'

Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition.
