As part of our commitment to supporting the growth and operational capabilities of Mastodon, we have established a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity in the United States aimed at facilitating our efforts, including being able to receive tax-deductible U.S. donations.

    Insanely bizarre, Germany has historically been pro-open source and the EU was just saying that the Fediverse is here to stay.

      Could you provide a source for the second part? I’m genuinely interested

      That’s a matter of politics. The tax authority doesn’t care about the political stance of the German government. They also sometimes just take weird decisions that seem pretty random, but it’s nothing political.

    I know they were already in the process of the 501c but that’s really gotta come as a bummer.

    They’ll lose a lot of donors in the EU if they can’t keep that non-profit status.

    I thought it was decentralized? Disappointing to learn this.
