»Deutsches Finanzamt entzieht Mastodon die Gemeinnützigkeit:
Ohne Vorwarnung oder Begründung hat ein deutsches Finanzamt dem in Berlin ansässigen #SocialMedia-Netzwerk #Mastodon den gemeinnützigen Status entzogen. Ab jetzt muss das Unternehmen mehr Steuern zahlen. Die Finanzierung sei laut Betreiber aber gesichert.«

Lately I've been binge watching videos of #Japan on #YouTube. Literally everything about Japan. Honest to God, I'm kinda jealous of that country now. Seriously what's up with their food vending machines and capsule toy vendors on every street corner? And their airports have observation decks for non-travelers, and they have tons of hobby model shops in Tokyo, etc. And those bullet trains!!! What on Earth have we been missing? The world's gotta emulate Japan.
you know if #mastodon forming a U.S. non-profit upsets you you have other alternatives. activitypub isn’t just mastodon. the #fediverse is more than mastodon. there are plenty of good options. I recommend you get a small instance someplace capable of supporting your crew and onboard them yourself to whatever alternative platform you like. this is the beauty of a federated environment.
If you're worried about the direction of #Mastodon, fork it and do it better. I am not concerned but I'd love to see more competition that's compatible. Otherwise, give them money.
Not sure how I feel about being on Mastodon after the announcement of the cofounder of Twitter Biz Stone being appointed to the board of directors on Mastodons new US nonprofit. 😅 I'm wondering how it's going to change things.
[Captain America detention meme] So, you saw as a great idea to create a non-profit for #Mastodon with an AI bro in one of the chairs and you announced it in this social network, which is full of cyberpunks, antifa folks and anticapitalists
In a surprise move, #Mastodon now operates as a US entity! Featuring a new board of directors, and a 501c3 status, it's a new milestone for the project.
Wow wait a minute 👀 the co-founder of Twitter Biz Stone is one of the board of directors for the new Mastodon nonprofit in the U.S. That's interesting.
So as of today Mastodon now has a US 501(c)3 non-profit entity to go along with their German corporate entity that appears to be losing its non-profit status for reasons the don't know yet. #mastodon#fediverse#newsblog.joinmastodon.org/2024/04/…
Between app purchases and donations to the network itself, I’ve spent more money in a year on Mastodon than I have in a lifetime on traditional, centralized algorithmic social media.
I appreciate not being the product, just the user.
Possible que je n'aie pas tout compris au fonctionnement de #mastodon (j'ai quitté tous les autres RS car je n'en pouvais plus de la méchanceté gratuite et du niveau de connerie, le tout baigné de xénophobie, de sexisme, d'intolérance crasse et j'en passe), mais...
Ici, mon #fil est très très vide, bien que je me sois abonnée à la plupart des intervenants sur la page #explorer... Je n'en trouve pas d'autres, et pourtant je vois que certains ont des milliers d'abonnés... donc c'est qu'il y a du monde !
Comment est-ce possible ?
Est-ce dû au cloisonnement des #serveurs ?
Hey @Gargron quick question, why is Biz Stone on the US non-profit board for Mastodon? He’s clearly still invested in Twitter and Instagram as platforms, posting at both places but only uses Mastodon to syndicate his Medium posts. I’m not seeing any action to indicate any passion or interest in the fediverse whatsoever.
@jsit@Gargron@samf How are they supposed to be focused on helping #mastodon succeed when they’re focused on using Twitter and not here? If they believe in Mastodon, use it, champion it.
