From my experience with #German#incorporation, it's extremely rulebound. I don't sense any malice by the govt of #Germany, just overbearing bureaucracy
I like the fact #Europe has more rules in general than the #USA for #corporations. but there is a limit, and capricious bullsh** like taking away #Mastodon's #nonprofit status over, what I assume, is some tiny clerical error or minor rule discrepancy, is just embarrassing for Germany.
