Co-founder of Twitter joins new Mastodon board of directors. Right, so federating with Threads wasnโt a mistake. This is just the direction Mastodon is going. Oh, well. Another Mozilla emerges.

@aral Just go to instances which block Meta.

And this is interesting, from our boy #Gargron:
"Weโve always been worried that developing Free and Open Source Software would not be recognized as a charitable cause by the German tax system, so we were glad when the tax office originally approved our non-profit status in 2021. But now we have received a notice from the same tax office that our non-profit status has been withdrawn. This came with no advance warning or explanation."
Apparently chanting "free and open, free and open, free and open" while raking in sh1t-t0ns of money didn't fool the German tax authorities
So move to the United States, where the tax system and the IRS are deliberately intended to benefit the rich
Got it....

@RosePuckey They created a new US not-for-profit. Letโs see if it becomes a Mozilla-like not-for-profit that owns a for-profit next.
