Thanks to the generous help of the previous owner of the mastodon username on GitHub, our GitHub organization has finally been renamed to mastodon! ๐ŸŽ‰

I know that changing the repository URL is a bother but I think itโ€™s worth it and better done sooner than later. Tootsuite was not serious and had no connection to our actual name.

Tootsuite was also kinda cool! :blobcatgiggle:

Also since Mastodon gGmbH is a real legal entity now and I am its CEO I am actually the CEO of Mastodon now. Sorry for ruining the jokes.

@Gargron **secretly Eugen also manages the Mastodon band :blobcatgiggle:

Ich habe keine Ahnung, aber es erscheint gut.

@Gargron hell yeah! Now you need a donations portal so people can make tax deductible donations =]

Eugen Rochko

@Thann Yeah, I'll need to work on that soon -- though I expect people will remain more motivated by Patreon rewards (which unfortunately make them non-donations tax-wise)

Jon Knapp ๐Ÿป๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ„ฏ

@Gargron I was working with someone on making an open source Patreon-style site for tax-deductible donations, but I haven't made any headway =[
I think a stand-alone white-lableable donations site would be great for your purposes now tho

@Gargron I was also thinking of someway to help other instances pay for servertime, perhaps instance owners can apply to get a monthly cheque? What do you think of that?

Alexander Bochmann

@Gargron Just give me an IBAN to send donations to, no need for men in the middle who take a cut.

@Gargron

I think betterplace makes this easier when you're a nonprofit under German law:

betterplace.org/c/hilfe/meine-

They automatically send donors a Spendenbescheinigung.

@Gargron @Thann
*me* waves in unrewarded LiberaPay donations, so much about that

Eugen Rochko

@Thann @schmittlauch I don't think LiberaPay charges you because I'm not actually accepting donations through LiberaPay

@Gargron @Thann Indeed in 2020 I was still giving money to chrismartin for Mastodon.
Shall I cancel my subscription there then?

New to it... good job.
Using Tusky.

Only comment I have, is make the install completely in app & idiot proof. No thinking by new user, no jumping to web site... just point & click.

You are the only alternative I found to twitter...
And I think I am talking to a future billionaire...

Your revenue models could be very subtle & interesting.

Well done so far ๐Ÿ–’

@rmotao gGmbH means non-profit LLC. The manifesto should be available on the German company register if I understand correctly.

@Gargron Thank you Eugen, a Lot! ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ™Œ
