@aral The EU is also in a precarious state I suspect, following Brexit and with other matters of the world (Ukraine, Putin, Drumpf) happening. I am very with you, but just as I left public-interest tech for for-profit for my own sanity living in the US & supporting both my parents and a disabled partner, Eugen and Mastodon deserve stability. I'm cautiously optimistic, that that is all this is about. How to sustain, in a world not yet ready to properly fund a commons.
