 I am happy to reveal that a non-profit legal entity for Mastodon, Mastodon gGmbH, is in the process of being entered into the German company register. For context, I have been operating as a sole proprietor so far. It's been in the works for 8 months but I didn't want to announce anything until everything was finalized just in case it didn't work out. Yesterday, I paid in the starting capital. It wouldn't be possible without the help and advice of @mellifluousbox. More to follow in blog form. 45 comments
    This is awesome news! Maybe we'll see you on the FLOSS Foundations mailing list? It's a great place to share best practices among nonprofits in the space   @Gargron @mellifluousbox I hope that doesn't mean taking venture capital.   @Gargron @mellifluousbox yea why should community know what were you doing 8 months with nonprofit company
  @Gargron    @Gargron @mellifluousbox Congrats! A very promising position for the future of the ecosystem.   @guenther @mellifluousbox "Die Fรถrderung von Wissenschaft und Forschung, insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Informatik"    @Gargron So mastodon is going full time off the window. Thanks god for misskey. Cc @syuilo here is opportunity for misskey or whole bunch thereof. Cc @defango please expect migrants at the border.   any chance of renaming the mastodon.social server? using a very similar name for both the app and the server is confusing for newbies.  @Gargron Go get 'em brother. You worked hard and I can't wait to see your success continue. |
