I cleaned up inactive Discord servers, most of which had no activity for 1-2 years. Communication dynamics are changing, so from now on, I’ll be more selective about the servers I join. #Discord #CommunityManagement #OnlineCommunication

A neat feature is coming in the next Mixpost release. Before you schedule or publish a post, Mixpost will suggest ways to improve it based on the platform you're posting to. Bluesky? Hashtags can help with discovery. Small suggestions, right when they're useful. Coming soon 👀

The stupidest social media feature idea is the custom video thumbnail.

3/3 A couple of details: a minimum tax per employee applies, and dividends are taxed separately. The 7% is calculated on revenue, not profit. Does your country offer a better setup for IT businesses? I’d love to compare real numbers. #ITBusiness #Entrepreneurship #BusinessTax

2/3 My company also pays no Moldovan VAT on its IT exports. For sales through Paddle, Paddle collects and remits any applicable VAT or sales tax charged to the end customer.

1/3 I run an IT business in Moldova and pay a single tax of 7% of company revenue. 🇲🇩 That 7% covers: → Corporate income tax → Salary income tax → Employees’ social and health contributions

5/5 I want you to open #Mixpost and get a better sense of what to keep doing, what to change, and what might be worth trying. Because posting more doesn’t automatically mean getting better results. #SocialMediaMarketing #SocialMediaAnalytics #SMM

4/5 With Mixpost v7, we’ll start moving in that direction, using AI to turn your analytics into clear insights and practical suggestions. This is a direction we’ll build on over time, starting with v7.

3/5 Making it easy to publish matters. But I want Mixpost to help you understand how your accounts are doing, too. What’s worth continuing? What needs adjusting? Where’s an opportunity to try something different?

2/5 Why did this post do well? Why didn’t that one? What should I try next? As the founder of #Mixpost, these are the questions I want us to help you answer.

1/5 I think SMM tools focus too much on publishing and too little on helping you understand what’s actually working. You can schedule dozens of posts and still wonder: What’s working? What should I change?

Mixpost becoming profitable and helping me buy a house took more than building good software. Those 4 years weren’t a straight line, and a short post leaves out a lot. I’ll share more about that journey in a future post.

Yesterday I shared that building #Mixpost helped me buy my first house. In 𝟒 years, it became profitable and turned me from a developer into a product builder. A businessman? I can’t call myself that yet. Still working on it. 👇 #PHP #Laravel #EntrepreneurSuccess #SocialMediaMarketing

“PHP is dead.” “You can’t build anything serious with PHP.” I built Mixpost. Then I bought my first house. 🏡 Countless hours, mistakes, and customers who believed in what I built. For a “dead” technology, it’s changed my life quite a bit. #PHP #Mixpost #EntrepreneurSuccess #SocialMediaMarketing

2 / 2 I’m not sure if I’ll give up my Mac, but I’m ready for a change. Omarchy’s flexibility and vibrant community are fascinating. Apple’s hardware remains exceptional, and I’m not yet convinced Framework or XPS can match a MacBook overall.

1 / 2 Yesterday was my second day using the Omarchy, and I’m already getting used to it. Some things still feel unfamiliar, but the experience is genuinely satisfying. Integrated AI makes it easy to find answers and customize almost everything. #omarchy #linux

Recently, I've met with managers and consultants who were typing away on their computers. Their hands were shaking as they worked, I caught a glimpse of their freshly brewed coffee cups and couldn't help but wonder: is this your 6th, 7th, or 8th cup today? 🤔

I find podcasts annoying, hosts and guests just validating each other's ideas, like a mutual admiration club. They share similar habits and experiences, constantly one-upping each other, and it feels insincere.

It's highly possible that the next giant company is being born now from an apparently ordinary product, and its founder doesn't know yet what they have in their hands. #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #FutureOfTech

What's the point of publishing your MMR? And what's the point of caring about such information?

5/5 To keep building Mixpost. To make it one of the strongest tools in social media marketing. To open it to a much wider audience. Leaving this here so I can read it again 7 years from now. #SaaS #FounderJourney

4/5 The late nights. The failed ideas. The shipped features. The moments where quitting would have been easier. And somehow, that gives me even more motivation. more below ↓

1/5 7 years ago I registered my first company. Inovector. I still remember the excitement. We started with software development services. And in parallel, I kept building our own products. more below ↓

building a new AI model feels almost like giving life to something. not human. but not just software either. a new intelligence. a new character. we are not only building tools anymore. almost like creators. how far can we go with this? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence

Dima Botezatu @dimabotezatu.com · 17/06/2026
Honestly… AI is not perfect. But being able to write, build, learn, automate, and create faster than ever before? That’s a gift for our generation. We got used to it too fast. #AI #Automation

small note from building Mixpost we chose human support on purpose not ai-first support people are often happy about it and honestly a bit surprised for real problems, people still want real people #FounderLessons #SaaS #CustomerSupport

We’re entering a buggy era where broken behavior is treated as normal. Mixpost relies on official platform APIs, and too often we waste days debugging our side, only to learn the issue is theirs. All we can do is wait for a fix. #APIs #ai #mixpost

Who says opportunities slow down after 40? John Ternus is 50 and set to become Apple’s new CEO. It’s a great reminder that age isn’t the limit. Your experience, value, and what you bring to the table matter most. #CareerGrowth #ExperienceMatters #Leadership

My advice for this weekend in the context of the Claude Design launch is to spend time with your family and stop scrolling. Let the AI sloper's eat each other, refresh your mind and gather your strength for next week to work on something useful for humanity. #RealLifeFirst #HumanOverHype

I’m planning to start a few local businesses in the future, and I honestly hope I won’t have to do dances and jokes on TikTok just to make it work.

Dima Botezatu @dimabotezatu.com · 16/04/2026
Now it feels as if you, as a business owner, not constantly showing up, you don’t exist. And that’s the part I don’t like: instead of focusing on your work and having some peace, you end up stuck in social media, constantly filming, thinking about content, chasing attention.

Dima Botezatu @dimabotezatu.com · 16/04/2026
People who built serious businesses end up clowning around just to get more visibility. Maybe I’m old-school, but this is how I see it: a business owner should be more discreet. The brand and the team should be front and center, driving sales, not the owner, in every single video.

Dima Botezatu @dimabotezatu.com · 16/04/2026
There’s a clear trend: entrepreneurs in non-tech (restaurants, fast food, shops, factories, etc) are constantly filming themselves and posting. Some say people buy from people, not brands. I don’t really agree. I follow a few on Instagram/TikTok and honestly, it feels cringe.

A businessman with a personal driver… making TikTok jokes just to sell. That’s the reality now.

A year ago on social media, I saw people working on real projects, and how they cared about what they were delivering. It was an inspiration to me. Now the whole feed is full of posts about which model is better or some AI sloop apps. I wonder how long this will last until we get back to normal?

Software was never really about speed. It comes down to details. Now you can build almost anything with AI. But if you don’t notice the small things, that becomes an issue. AI gives fast results. Details are still on you. #AI #SoftwareDevelopment
