Running multiple of the largest European Mastodon instances makes you basically a communist threat to them... And communists, I think that's their reasoning, have no place in Stripe. Why am I considering this kind of reasoning?

"Who is Stripe owned by?

Stripe is a privately owned company. Notable investors in the company include its co-founders (brothers Patrick and John Collison), Sequoia Capital, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, American Express (NYSE: AXP), and Visa (NYSE: V)."

Good luck!
