Looks like Mastodon gGmbH’s latest moves are adored by folks who work at surveillance capitalists like Medium and Google.

Good job, Mastodon gGmbH… you’re doing amazing, sweetie!

Worrying: had its non-profit status revoked in Germany.

Hopefully this is an egregious mistake by the authorities and gets overturned quickly. In the meanwhile, it must be difficult to do any financial planning without knowing what the tax liabilities will be.

A year ago I recommended asking for help from people with more experience.

Going at it alone with a new USA entity sounds like the opposite direction was chosen.

“The Kansas Reflector published an artical about Meta censoring environmental articles about climate change — deeming them ‘too controversial’.

Facebook then censored the article about Facebook censorship, and then after an independent site published a copy of the climate change article, Facebook censored it too.”

Welcome to the fediverse, friend.

If you’re on mastodon.social, I would highly recommend that you switch to a different server that protects its people instead of exposing them to a well-known bad actor like Facebook/Meta via Threads.

For alternatives, see: https://fedipact.veganism.social

And remember that Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon and definitely more so than mastodon.social and Mastodon gGmbH.

Can someone please ask the CEO of Mastodon gGmbH to defederate with Threads? I used to know Eugen who ran the instance and could have asked him myself but I don’t know the CEO of Mastodon gGmbH.

The fediverse is much more than what Mastodon (and most definitely Mastodon gGmbH) allows it to be.

Don’t let folks who see nothing wrong with getting into bed with a documented bad actor like Meta/Facebook limit the potential of this fledgling network for short-term dopamine hits from “number goes up!”

And thanks to val there's now an issue asking about the annual report for 2022.
